| Manning: DNR needs commission |
|
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources needs to be shifted to control of a commission and taken out of the political spectrum. So says former DNR Director Brent Manning in a Sunday interview with Dale Bowman of the Chicago Sun-Times. Manning’s call for a commission is not his first. But in the face of yet another round of budget cuts for the DNR he had built to such a respected level, it is particularly timely. Writes Bowman: Manning envisioned a commission selected from something like the Conservation Congress, which featured representatives from park districts, forest preserves and conservation, hunting, fishing and paddling groups. He thought it might be best to use the IDNR’s five-region setup, with one or two commissioners from each region. Click here to read the rest of Bowman’s column on the subject.
