AUGUSTA
Senate Majority Leader Seth Goodall, D-Richmond, is resigning from the Legislature to oversee the U.S. Small Business Administration’s New England region.
The job is a direct presidential appointment. Goodall said he would begin his new job after the current legislative session.
“I’m very fortunate to be considered and appointed by the president and the administrator,” Goodall said, referring to SBA Administrator Karen Mills, of Brunswick.
U.S. Reps. Mike Michaud and Chellie Pingree nominated Goodall for the post in April 2012.
