Appears the Friday's Board decision making has come and gone.  Seems like the original David Ige nominee for chair of DLNR could not have disappointed the envirnmetalists any worse than the eventual nominee who got confirmed.  Now with deregulations in the offing from Congress and the White House, the local advocates can only wish for a change in the Congressional majority and leadership in the next two years.  With the election of Sen. John Neely Kennedy of Louisiana, the prospects for environmental protection is looking bleak indeed.
