Van Buren leaves state government to begin communications business.

After 16 years in state government, Tyler Van Buren has started a communications and public relations consulting business. Monday was his last day at Treasurer Erick Russell’s office.

Van Buren joined Russell’s office two years ago after a long run in the comptroller’s office under Kevin Lembo. Van Buren took his bow Monday with a grace note. He wrote to reporters and others, “I have a great appreciation for the work you do, and I hope I have been a good partner in helping you inform your readers, viewers, and listeners over the years—if not your commenters.”

Tyler Van Buren Media, LLC, has begun.
