The trail report - The Boston Globe: "Out the door

With her boss spending more and more time on the national scene, Beth Myers, Governor Mitt Romney's chief of staff, is poised to move out of her State House office and over to the payroll of his political operations.

Two highly placed administration sources confirmed that Romney wants to get Myers, an experienced political hand, to work for his political action committee, the Commonwealth PAC.

Myers, who learned her politics in Texas 20 years ago by watching Karl Rove operate in his early days, is expected to be working at the Romney PAC by this summer. She has been a key senior adviser to Romney for the last four years, serving as a stand-in for debate preps in the 2002 campaign and then moving into the State House with him in early 2003.

''Beth Myers remains as chief of staff and will remain at the job for the foreseeable future," said Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney's director of communications.

He would not say any more. But in fact, those sources said Fehrnstrom will also be moving there before year's end. Already two other senior staff members have or are about to leave and work for the PAC -- Deputy Chief of Staff Peter Flaherty is expected to leave shortly for Old City Hall, and Ben Godley, who had handled personnel for the governor's office, last week started at the PAC.
