Gov. Dayton rolls and caves again!
November 17th, 2011
O… M… D!
Gov. Mark Dayton has done it again, apparently looking to leave a legacy of being one of the most environmentally harmful Governors in Minnesota history.
And to think he’s a shep guy…
What’s this all about? Well, for example, first there was his roll and cave on MPCA and DNR permitting, “streamlining” or gutting, as the case may be, beating the Republicans and their legislative agenda to the punch:
Dayton “streamlines” for corporate interests!
And then adding insult to injury:
Walton’s Bill Grant – Deputy Commissioner of Energy?
Now, by Executive Order, he does it again, this time to the EQB:
Executive Order 11-32
Check it out:
By November 15, 2012, the EQB shall evaluate and make recommendations on how to improve environmental review, given the changes made in Chapter 4, House File 1, and the recommendations contained in the Office of the Legislative Auditor Environmental Review and Permitting Report.
Here’s Chapter 4, House File 1.
And now for the Office of the Legislative Auditor Environmental Review and Permitting Report:
