CJRC Director Resigns As OSBI Merger Considered

K.C. Moon, the controversial director of the Criminal Justice Resource Center at the Legislative Service Bureau, resigned today, The McCarville Report Online has learned.

Moon's resignation letter went to Rep. Gus Blackwell and Senator Richard Lerblance, co-chairs of the Sentencing Commission, with copies to the legislative leadership and others. He resigned effective March 1, 2008. He is joining the Department of Corrections.

Legislators are considering a measure that would move the CJRC out of the Legislative Service Bureau and merge it with the OSBI.

The Resource Center is the research arm of the Sentencing Commission, which chooses the director.
Moon, a research analyst, stepped down less than a year after lawmakers considered legislation that would have given them authority to choose the agency's director.
