Legislative Auditor James Nobles is retiring after a long career in state government. Nobles said Friday his last day on the job will be Oct. 5.
He was first appointed to the legislative auditor post in 1983. He was reappointed six times to a series of six-year terms.
Nobles began working in state government as an intern in the House Research Department in 1972.
“Thanks to the support and guidance I received from a significant number of legislators and colleagues, the 49 years that followed have been full of rewarding experiences and opportunities,” Nobles wrote in a letter announcing his retirement plans. Read more from Tim Pugmire.
