A reminder of DNR Director Alan Morrison’s extensive natural resources background, as shared by Indiana DNR press release:
“Morrison also previously worked for the Flint Generals, a minor league hockey team in Flint, Michigan, and for Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute. He attended Slippery Rock University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree, and later attended Indiana State University for his master’s degree, both in sport management.”
Aside from his utter lack of qualifications, he is not looking healthy at all. I hadn’t seen a picture of him in years and he’s unrecognizable. If the stress of the job is getting to him, he should step aside so someone more qualified can assume the position.
The Commission and the public should have multiple opportunities for complete understanding of these projects and input/recommendations provided before any decisions are made. The IEDC is a great example of how NOT to manage these projects. The government should be required to be transparent with land owners, local and neighboring communities about the details and potential downsides of projects before implementation.
Director Morrison has no qualifications for the position he holds and Governor Braun is not a friend of our Natural Resources. As a lifelong registered republican I am saddened by the Braun Administrations performance on many levels but especially here. We need the Natural Resources Commission to continue in its oversight capacity and not let this over reach continue.
