I'm perplexed why Gov. Brown would recommend (and EQC so quickly approve) an Interim Director for DEQ (when there's an Acting Director already) pending a national search when she skipped the national search for an even more important position - Director of DHS?
What's the back story regarding Ms. Hammond?
What is Mr. Shepherd's task as the "interim" director?  Will his service disqualify Harrang Long from future DEQ-related consultation and/or litigation?
More on this story please...
