The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners today unanimously selected David Hough as county administrator.
Hough has been acting administrator since December, when Richard Johnson retired.
The other two finalists were:
- Stephen Cramer, the former Minneapolis City Council member who's now president of Project for Pride in Living.
- Steve O'Malley, the La Crosse County, Wis., county administrator.
Hough had been deputy administrator before taking the temporary helm when Johnson retired.
