State Senate Natural 
Resources Committee Passes 
DNR Independence Bill

2/5/01



 
By a 5-0 vote, the Senate Natural Resources Committee endorsed a bill aimed at restoring the independence of the the DNR Secretary.  The bi-partisan vote on February 2 indicates the climate in Madison for passage of this bill may be changing.

The vote moves the bill, SB3, on to the full Senate for action.

Now would be an especially important time to contact your legislators and ask them to support this bill which will help move politics out of DNR decision making.  And it is particularly important that the Assembly Natural Resources Chair DuWayne Jonsrud also hear from you.
