foxnews.com Tuesday, April 23, 2002 WASHINGTON — White House counselor Karen Hughes will leave her post as counselor to President Bush effective this summer. Hughes told reporters Tuesday that she wants to move her family back home to Texas so that she can spend time with her adult daughter and granddaughter, and start her son, Robert, in high school. "To be honest, I guess we're a little homesick," she said. She said she announced the decision because she had to notify her son's school in Washignton by May 1 that he will not be returning in the fall, but will complete his last three years of high school in Austin. Hughes said the president and first lady were "very supportive" of her decision. "This is a family friendly White House. And this is a family-friendly decision," she said. Hughes will continue to advise the president from Texas but will not be on the federal payroll. Hughes is one of Bush's closest advisers and directed his communications when Bush was governor of Texas. White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett will likely replace Hughes as a senior adviser to the president. She won't get paid, yeah, sure. Dorine
