A Seat At the Table-IL Lt Gov has ideas on how to save State DNR
[Link: blogs.e-rockford.com...]
I just got off the phone with Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, who is attending a conference in New Mexico. Quinn agrees that the economics of the state park closings make no sense. Any perceived savings are “trifling” when you consider the overall benefits natural resources provide.
Quinn said he was disappointed in leadership at DNR for not strongly protesting the closings and for not doing the right thing for conservation.
A part of the problem is that you have a political appointee, Sam Flood, as director instead of a trained professional.
Quinn has a solution, one he says he’s not wedded to, but one that might reverse the decline the DNR has experienced in the last six years.
