Weeks after Gov. Jim Doyle won re-election, two top state air regulators discussed how to give “payback” to environmentalists who supported him during the 2006 campaign, according to notes of the conversation.
Department of Natural Resources Air and Waste Division Administrator Al Shea told a colleague the governor “has got to deliver” by reducing pollution at four coal-fired power plants that were a priority of the Sierra Club, according to the notes, which were obtained through an open records request.
