Last year I wrote that my former co-worker, Greg Jenner, was working as one of the Bush Administration's top tax policy wonks. This past summer, he was nominated to be the Numero Uno tax policy official for the Bushies, and he was serving in that capacity on an "acting" basis. But Jenner, a former Portlander, was never confirmed for the permanent position by the Senate, and now he's abruptly resigned to return to private practice.

Hope everything's o.k. with Greg. Given my antipathy toward the Bush tax "ideas," I'm glad he's no longer involved.
