Patrick Durkin: Petty politicians still bickering as Wisconsin DNR secretary post remains vacant after a year
Published: , in Outdoor News
The captain’s chair at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sits empty a year after former DNR Secretary Adam Payne gave 10 days’ notice before retiring Nov. 1, 2023.
Payne served only 10 months after accepting Gov. Tony Evers’ appointment on Dec. 27, 2022. His Oct. 20, 2023, resignation letter cited neither job dissatisfaction nor age or health concerns. He was 55 when accepting the job. Evers, meanwhile, has said little about this cabinet vacancy, even though the DNR is Wisconsin’s most visible and publicly engaged agency.
