Gov. Evers Announces DNR Secretary Cole Retirement.MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today announced Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Secretary Preston D. Cole will be retiring from the Evers Administration on Nov. 23, 2022, after a long and dedicated 35 year career in public service. “Preston has been an integral part of my administration since day one, and we are sorry to see him go,” said Gov. Evers. “With his help, we brought science back to the DNR, we helped ensure Wisconsinites have cleaner, safer water, and we are tackling climate change head-on, all while supporting our state park system and the outdoor recreational economy that so many Wisconsinites and visitors enjoy. He has been a great leader at the DNR, and I thank him for his dedicated, thoughtful service to the people of our state and wish him and his family nothing but the best in his retirement.”... Ken Notes: This will be an important replacement in the new Evers administration, I hope we can find a person with both a strong love for environment and a willingness to work with business, developers, sportsmen and tourism to make Wisconsin a special place for decades to come. We need far more public private partnerships to create destinations for people to visit our state. We need to focus on solutions for providing clean pure water for every Wisconsinite. We need farm regulation and monitoring to ensure we protect our watersheds. The DNR will need a seat at the table as we transition into more renewable energy. We need to build a bipartisan policy to reduce carbon, source point pollution, effectively mange the great lakes, our waterways, and the aquifer. | ||
