Seek Administrative Overhaul 2 Lawmakers Say Board Loses Control Over DNR
Two Wisconsin Republican lawmakers Lloyd H. Kincaid and Richard P. Matty call for an administrative overhaul of the Natural Resources Department after 1967 reorganization. They say the board has lost control as officials govern and input from the legislature weakened. They describe the DNR as a bureaucratic monster and urge dismantling the agency to restore oversight. They note Democratic critics and the governor’s stance on direct executive control, with hearings possible and a potential independent investigator.
