Good days.  When I was at White River, it was best to hang with the linemen in their breakroom.  EVERYBODY wants their power back on first.

That is a true fact. During ice storms we were treated pretty good by the customers. Food and hot coffee as gifts! Please come to my house and get power back on!

Ehhh it became very Trumpesch. Some just have to have all the attention. Wasn't your fault. We both kinda got sucked in.

The MDC AND DNR have different authorities and often work together.  I appreciate BOTH of them.

I worked for DNR many years ago.  It wasn't easy then and it's far worse now with the anti regulation atmosphere and a republican legislature and governor cutting budgets and mandating 1/3 reduction in existing regulations.

If they are regulating less, how does that make their job harder ?

[Terrierman]

Same set of problems (actually more due to more people) with fewer tools to deal with them.  And less staff to boot. 

[fishinwrench]

That makes no sense to me. Sounds like garbledegook.   According to Google there has been no layoffs or pay cuts.  They have hired more than have retired or left the dept. in the last 10 years, and now there's a little bit less to do.  What "tools" have they been denied or had taken away ?

Not trying to give anyone a hard time, just trying to understand how having less to regulate, with the same amount of (or more) staff, can make things harder on them.

Yelp kind of like me working for OEM and COAD but trained by FEMA but was trained and got a certificate from MU the other day.
