Debbie Crane has a new job.

The former N.C. Department of Health and Human Services information director fired at the direction of Gov. Mike Easley's office started work June 20 at the North Carolina offices of The Nature Conservancy, a private non-profit, Michael Biesecker reports.

A public information officer with the state for 18 years, Crane was fired in early March amid fallout from an N&O investigation of the state's mental-health system.

After her dismissal, she ignited an ongoing controversy by disclosing that she and other public information officers had been directed to delete e-mails to and from Easley's office every day.

"I'm loving this place," Crane said of her new job. "My blood pressure is lower and I feel like I'm doing good work."

Congratulations Debbie!

Mikey and others should still be ashamed of themselves.
