Tony Evers&rsquo; latest pick to head the Department of Natural Resources.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu didn&rsquo;t actually say he has a problem with Karen Hyun herself.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Senate Republicans look forward to meeting with Dr. Hyun to discuss her qualifications to serve as Wisconsin&rsquo;s DNR Secretary as we fulfill our constitutional duty of advice and consent,&rdquo; he said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>LeMahiue&rsquo;s problem is with Evers, and the governor&rsquo;s decision to wait so long to name someone to head one of the state&rsquo;s most comprehensive agencies.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There are families who should have clean water this Christmas who don&rsquo;t because of the governor&rsquo;s irresponsible PFAS veto,&rdquo; LeMahieu added. &ldquo;If the governor had appointed a qualified DNR secretary after former-Secretary Payne&rsquo;s departure, their counsel may have saved the governor from that critical mistake.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Former Secretary Adam Payne left the DNR in October 2023. At the time, he said he needed to spend more time with his family.<\/p>\n<p>Evers on Monday named Hyun as his new secretary.<\/p>\n<p>Hyun is a career Capitol Hill bureaucrat who ended her career in Washington D.C. earlier this year as the chief of staff at NOAA.<\/p>\n<p>Evers said Hyun has the leadership experience necessary to lead with the Wisconsin DNR.<\/p>\n<p>LeMahieu said the governor&rsquo;s decision to nominate Hyun the week of Christmas &ldquo;isn&rsquo;t just insider politics.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Taxpayers deserve accountability and transparency from their government. The Evers administration continues to deny them both,&rdquo; LeMahieu said.<\/p>\n<p>LeMahieu is not saying when the Senate may vote on Hyun&rsquo;s nomination, or how that vote may go.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate has not voted for many of Evers&rsquo; nominees, and it has voted down several of his DNR nominees.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Senate voted out four of the state&rsquo;s DNR board members.<\/p>\n<p>The new legislature is due to be sworn-in in mid-January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1921802\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1921802\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate GOP leader critical of DNR appointment choice<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2383979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/AP24033774461840-1024x683.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[47476,32603,35272,32076],"class_list":["post-2383978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-dnr-choice","tag-political-news","tag-senate-republicans","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/AP24033774461840-1024x683.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2383978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2383978"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2383978\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2383982,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2383978\/revisions\/2383982"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2383979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2383978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2383978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2383978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
