Quoted in DNR to alter handling of pollution, science, enforcement. (Wisconsin State Journal, 11/30/2016)
Based on this list from the above article, I imagine Gaylord Nelson is spinning in his grave.
- Placing greater reliance on private contractors to write environmental permits including those governing water pollution discharges from animal feedlots.
- Exerting closer control over agency research.
- Reducing the number of armed rangers with arrest powers in state parks.
- Reevaluating state wildlife habitat and the effort that goes into management, selling off aging heavy equipment, and allowing more front-line personnel to specialize in their areas of expertise.
But wait; there's more!
