State Representative-elect Mike Weinstein has accepted a post as executive director of the local State Attorney’s office.

From the Florida Times-Union

Weinstein was elected Nov. 4 to represent House District 19, which includes Mandarin. He aspires to become House speaker.

Corey said Weinstein will be in charge of her office’s administrative and budgetary functions, the same position he held under former State Attorney Ed Austin before Austin was elected mayor in 1991.

Weinstein, who is volunteering with Corey’s incoming administration, will begin work after the 2009 legislative session, she said.

Weinstein said he will be paid about $100,000 annually, but he and Corey are still working out the details. He’ll also be paid about $30,000 a year as a state legislator.

“It’s a great pick,” former Mayor John Delaney said. “He’s a wonderful manager.”

Delaney, who worked side-by-side with Weinstein in the Mayor’s Office and State Attorney’s Office, said Weinstein is uniquely qualified because he understands both budgets and case flow.

Weinstein, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2003, said the job is a return to his first love of public safety. He said he and Corey spent several hours Friday touring the State Attorney’s Office.

“Angela’s going to really try to beef up the prosecution, and we’re going to try to help her do that, particularly during these difficult economic times,” Weinstein said.
