Details: Joshua D. Saal, the former housing secretary who resigned after months of missteps reported by the Globe, has been hired by the state as a contractor.
The decision to have Saal return to state service as a contracted consultant was made by the governor’s office and the housing department, state department of administration spokeswoman Laura Hart told the Globe. Hart said the agreement was not required and is an “occasional practice” for departing state employees.
