A little birdie told us that after five years as the Executive Director of Washington Conservation Voters (WCV)—the group that led the charge for the hazardous substance tax in Olympia—Kurt Fritts is headed to Sudan to work in the Sudanese National Referendum.

Fritts was previously a staffer for Governor Gregoire and Senate Democrats in Olympia.

We called several hours ago and haven't heard back on confirmation, but our source is good.
