Changes At Top of DNR

There’s a change at the top of the Department of Natural Resource’s board. Fred Prehn, who was nominated by former Governor Walker, has stepped down. Prehn fought to stay on the board, saying Governor Evers never officially replaced him.

But last week, Prehn said it was time to allow the State Senate to vote on his replacement. Prehn was a deciding vote on a number of issues including Wisconsin’s wolf hunt. Senate leaders say they expect to give the governor’s nominees an ‘up or down’ vote this year.
