Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s office said he will name Karen Buffkin to replace his outgoing General Counsel Luke Bronin.
Buffkin is deputy secretary in the state’s Office of Policy Management. She previously worked as OPM’s undersecretary for legal affairs. Malloy said she played a key part in both jobs in preparing and executing budgets.
Before her work at OPM, Buffkin was general counsel for the state Board of Labor Relations and in Office of the State Comptroller.
Malloy announced Bronin’s resignation earlier this month.
