Lobby effort to block cabinet plan for DNR changes
Groups opposing Senator Lloyd Kincaid's plan to move the Department of Natural Resources chief to the governor's cabinet plan to lobby a legislative committee. Wallace Cooper of the Oneida County Conservation Congress says the bill was previously promised not to advance, but passed by voice vote last week. Outdoorsmen and wildlife groups will watch the legislature's moves on Senate Bill 32 as critics say DNR autonomy should be curbed and heads answerable to an elected official. The DNR is overseen by the Natural Resources Board, with critics arguing for governor-appointed leadership. Cooper notes the Wisconsin Conservation Congress and other groups monitoring hunting regulations assist in advisory capacity.
