Tuesday's temporary injunction hearing for 17-month-old Emilio Gonzales was postponed because three key witnesses will not be able to attend.

Governor Deval Patrick, in his latest effort to reshape his administration, has informed all commissioners and agency leaders appointed by his Republican predecessors that they must reapply for their jobs and will be notified by June 1 if they can remain in their positions.

Among those notified was Harry Spence, commissioner of the Department of Social Services, who has faced criticism for the death of children in DSS care, including 4-year-old Rebecca Riley, and for the case of Haleigh Poutre, who was beaten into a coma in 2005. The agency was accused of trying to prematurely remove the 11-year-old from life support.
Since suffering a series of embarrassing gaffes in his first two months in office, Patrick has made several personnel announce ments, aimed at surrounding himself with a more seasoned inner circle and getting his administration on a new track. Just three months into his tenure, he replaced his chief of staff, a political novice, with Doug Rubin, who helped devise Patrick's come-from-behind victory last year.
