Another of Gov. Matt Blunt’s top aides is leaving.

Blunt just announced that he has appointed his legislative director, Chuck Pryor, to the Board of Probation and Parole.

The appointment, which is subject to Senate confirmation, is for a term ending in 2014. Pryor is a former legislator from Versailles.

Just last week, Pryor declined interviews on how the governor’s legislative agenda was being received. Now we see why.

As was reported here last week, Blunt’s health policy director Jodi Stefanick and education director Mary Beth Luna Wolf also are leaving the administration this month.
