Reporter Sam Now Sam The Clerk

I wanted to let you know that I have been offered, and accepted, the position of Ferndale city clerk, and my last day at The Bellingham Herald will be January 7. The job is contingent on the Ferndale City Council approving my contract during a Dec. 20 meeting.  As of now, I will no longer be covering Ferndale for this newspaper. Editors here are determining how to handle government and political coverage — including the future of this blog — as the days go on / Sam Taylor , Bellingham Herald Politics Blog. More here .

Question: When did you last switch careers?
