Laura Thielen interim chairwoman of DLNR
Advertiser

and
Star-Bulletin
reports
that Lingle has appointed Laura H. Thielen as interim chairwoman of the state
Department of Land and Natural Resources. She is currently executive director of
the state Office of Planning. I hear that as a former member of the state Board
of Education she has been supportive of Hawaiian charter schools. (She's the
daughter of Republican representative Cynthia Thielen, who has been good on
energy and environmental issues, and was involved in the Kaho'olawe movement.)
She'll have some tough tasks cleaning up the State
Historic Preservation office, Bureau of Conveyances, etc. but at least it sounds
like she has some promise. Pacific
