Don't worry, DNR employee, Happy Days Here Again.
While climate science was scrubbed away, staffers were laid off, budgets have been cut and an agency-wide mission mauling at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is in its sixth year by the corporately-compliant tag team of right-wing Governor and Senior Moral Destroyer Scott Walker and Cathy Stepp, his DNR Secretary and top 'chamber of commerce mentality' enabler.
But good times - - even "field office visits from the Secretary's Office - - are just around the corner across the agency's bureaus and divisions, as Stepp told folks in all-hands email:

Message being sent to all DNR staff
I am thankful every day for the team of employees we have here at DNR and the work you do across the state. While we appreciate your dedication every day, a special week is set aside every year to highlight that appreciation.
This year, Public Service Recognition Week is May 7-13, and Governor Walker has proclaimed May 10 as State Employee Recognition Day.
Please watch for a special edition of The Resource on May 4th, which will highlight activities that we at DNR will be hosting during Public Service Recognition Week, including: field office visits from the Secretary’s Office, announcements recognizing staff for the great work they do, opportunities to serve on teams that will help guide employee engagement and diversity programs in the department and other important information about accomplishments at DNR and plans for the future.
On behalf of Kurt and Ed and the entire Department Leadership Team, I thank you for your public service. Your contributions to the citizens and natural resources of Wisconsin are what make this state a great place to live, work and play.
I look forward to seeing you next week!
Cathy Stepp
Secretary
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Secretary
