JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - The head of the Mississippi Department of Human Services is the latest state agency leader to announce his departure as the state prepares for a new administration.
Christopher Freeze will leave his job Jan. 14. That’s the same day Tate Reeves will be inaugurated to succeed fellow Republican Phil Bryant as governor.
Freeze is a former special agent in charge of the FBI in Mississippi. Bryant appointed him to lead Human Services in August.
The state agency said in a news release Wednesday that Freeze has brought greater transparency to how Human Services issues contracts and has provided tighter controls over how tax dollars are spent.
