Wednesday’s meeting of the state Natural Resources Board is shaping up to be unusual.
The term of Fred Prehn, a dentist and cranberry marsh owner from Wausau, expired May 1st, and Governor Tony Evers appointed a replacement, Sandra Dee Nass of Ashland, on April 30th.
However, it is being reported that Prehn does not plan on giving up his seat on the board, on which he’s served as chair for the past year-and-a-half.
According to attorneys at the non-partisan Legislative Council, such a move is not illegal.
The seven-member citizen board that sets policy for the Department of Natural Resources.
