Not content with stripping out scientists, climate change information and management of water in the public interest from the DNR, see: Foxconn, and groundwater privatization, etc. - - Walker and his special-interest legislative bellhops have opened a new line of attack on the agency and its ability to focus on public water rights:
Further bury what used to be the DNR's highly-respedcteds Division of Water into a jargon-laden, vaguely-titled nothing-to-do-with water "Division of External Services" that becomes a 'one-stop' business-friendly operation.
Like what the Department of Commerce used to be before Walker changed that to a more partisan campaign donor favor bank, a/k/a/ Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.
But now Wisconsin business needs even more special, should we say, official internal services to speed businesses external needs, given Foxconn, a looming new metals mining bill, intentional CAFO regulation disregard, faster deforestation, easier sand mine expansion, wetlands sacrifice, and more.
This latest DNR reorganization is par for the course as Walker shifts and downgrades again the agency according to the 'chamber of commerce mentality' he's made its mission since taking office - - just more blatant.
