Nearly 100 senior managers in state government have been told they must reapply for their jobs as part of what Gov. John Hickenlooper describes as an effort to deliver efficient services.

The managers work in a variety of departments, including human services, corrections and transportation.

They include Ron Sloan, the director of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation; David Neslin, the director of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission; and Abel Tapia, the director of the Colorado Lottery.

"We're making sure we have the right talent in the right places," said Megan Castle, the governor's spokeswoman.

Hickenlooper, a Denver Democrat who took office in January, promised to make government more "effective, efficient and elegant."

House Speaker Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, said Monday he wasn't aware of the job review, but he supports it.
