The embattled Joe Enge resigned this morning as deputy director of the state Office of Energy, after a flurry of criticisms that he was not qualified for the job.
"My understanding is that it was his decision," said Mellisa Subbotin, press secretary for Gov. Jim Gibbons. The governor did not seek Enge's resignation, she added.
News that Enge had quit was first posted by Sun columnist Jon Ralston.
Enge, a conservative education critic with a checkered past, started the job on Nov. 12. He was criticized for having no experience in the energy field.
He was appointed by Hatice Gecol, energy advisor to the governor and director of the Office of Energy. Gecol has publicly defended Enge's appointment.
