Corbett names transition teams
This week Governor-elect Tom Corbett announced the members of his transition teams. We were really interested to learn of Corbett's Energy and Environment Committee, which will develop recommendations for how to cut costs and conduct business at DEP, DCNR and the PUC and deliver them to the governor by January 18. Of the 30 members of the committee, at least 17 are lobbyist or lawyers representing gas drillers, the waste industry, coal mining, and utilities or work for companies with active enforcement, permitting, and other matters before the DEP and PUC. There was no representative from an organized hunting or angling group named to the committee.
