Gov. Bob Scott refused to withdraw Eugene Simmons as director of conservation and development. He argued the full time post remains statutory and that revisions do not erase its duties. Critics from both parties call the move cronyism and wasteful, while Scott cites evolving organizational charts.

Byrd polar flight denials surface in 60th anniversary claims
Bernt Balchen, Byrd’s former pilot, claims Richard E. Byrd lied about a North Pole flight three years before the South Pole crossing. Balchen says Floyd Bennett confessed the North Pole claim was false. He states Byrd’s fame rested on that fraud and cites Amundsen and Ellsworth’s 1925-Dornier flight as the genuine Arctic achievement.
