A top Blagojevich administration official with ties to the governor's indicted former fundraiser has quietly left her state post.Well, maybe he meant Dibble is not a relative.
Kelly King Dibble resigned Thursday from her job as head of the Illinois Housing Development Authority, which provides financing for the construction of low-income housing.
She has been replaced by DeShana Forney, the governor's director of public safety. Forney's salary is set at $140,000.
Prior to joining the administration in 2003, Dibble served as a vice president with Rezmar Inc., a Chicago development company owned by Antoin "Tony" Rezko.
Her departure comes three months after Rezko was charged by federal prosecutors for allegedly demanding payments from firms wanting to do business with the state.
Housing Development Authority spokeswoman Man Yee Lee said Dibble's leaving is not linked to Rezko's legal woes.
"Her departure was in no way related," said Lee.
If she's lucky, maybe she can quietly get a job on the Obama campaign, after all, she's not related to him either.
