[edit] commissioners, officers, secretary etc

I removed the following sentence: Rick R. Rosenberg, Jr. is the Secretary of Education for the State of New Jersey. I could not verify that this information is currently up to date or accurate. I think it would be helpful to include the date and a link to a verifying website or source when citing this sort of thing. 5 or 10 years later, this information is guaranteed to be out of date, so it might be better just to link to the official website of an agency and let people seek such information there.

I also can't verify Rosenberg's status. User:130.68.204.204 made this edit, restoring Rosenberg's name and deleting that of Lucille Davy as Commissioner. Davy's status is on the Department's website as of today, and the anon user has made other edits that are vandalistic, such as blanking this talk page, so his or her edit carries no weight with me. As for the problem of the information going out of date, I think the best solution is to say that so-and-so was appointed on thus-and-such date. That will remain true.
