Tom Considine, commissioner of New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, is planning to step down in February, according to a local report, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The Star-Ledger reported on Sunday, Jan. 22, that Considine will return to the private sector after leaving his post next month. Considine was nominated to the post by Governor Chris Christie in January 2010. He was sworn in as commissioner in March 2010.
Rumors have circulated for months that Considine would be leaving his post, following the departure of other cabinet members, according to The Star-Ledger.
