Joseph Brady, a chief of staff to former Senate Majority Leader Paul Kelly, has returned to the Senate's employ as the $87,764-a-year "secretary of the Senate'' after a sojourn in the House as a $76,244-a-year director of constituent services.

Brady was tapped by new Senate President M.Teresa Paiva Weed's leadership team to succeed Raymond "Chip'' Hoyas, who has doubled over the years as a deputy chief of staff and onetime Pawtucket city councilman.

A Senate spokesman said Hoyas resigned a week before the session began.

Brady is a former deputy chief of staff for former Senate Majority Leader David Carlin; chief of constituent services for former Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bevilacqua, chief of staff for Kelly; administrative assistant to former Department of Transportation Director William Ankner, and policy analyst for the Governor's Office on Highway Safety under Governor Carcieri.
