Long-time Department of Children and Families spokesperson Gary Kleeblatt has found something extra to do in retirement.
He has joined the Middletown Press on a freelance basis and published his first by-lined story this week that went Hearst wide. As many Laurel readers know, this is not Kleeblatt’s first time at the rodeo, or even at a local newspaper. Before working for DCF, Kleeblatt was a well-sourced political reporter for the Manchester based Journal-Inquirer.
