Termed-out state senator Jack Scott (Altadenablog's neighbor) has picked up a new job after his term ends: he's been named chancellor of the California community college system, putting him in charge of a quarter of the nation's two-year students. Before being a state senator and assemblyman, Scott was the president of Pasadena City College, so the job seems like a natural fit. Contra Costa County Times has a good story about it.
