DLNR hearings
The
Advertiser
reports
on hearings at the legislature yesterday re
Dept. of Land and Natural Resources.
In a House
hearing room jammed with department administrators, environmentalists, boaters,
tour-group operators and cultural activists, most people who testified supported
an audit but many noted that the department has not adequately responded to the
recommendations of previous audits.
Several people
said the department's broad mission — overseeing land and water use, state
parks, forestry and wildlife, historic preservation and ocean recreation —
can lead to conflicts and inefficiency. Many also agreed with Young that the
department has not had enough money or
staff.The
Star-Bulletin
also has a story.
