Subject: Chuck Gipp named deputy DNR director
Thought this would be of interest to the group. Is it accurate to say Gipp is respected in environmental circles? I don't remember many good things happening for the environment when he was Iowa House majority leader (2003 through 2006).
Cheers,
Laurie

Excerpt:
Chuck Gipp
Chuck Gipp, soil conservation administrator for the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship since 2008, has been named deputy director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Gipp, a lifelong dairy farmer who is respected in both production agriculture and environmental circles, said he hopes to foster understanding and cooperation between the two often-opposed groups.
“Both are important to Iowans, and we need to bring both sides together and strike a sustainable balance,” Gipp, 63, of Decorah, said.
“In Chuck Gipp, we are bringing onboard someone who is not only very dedicated and knowledgeable about conservation of our natural resources but also a very talented individual in working with our stakeholders and Legislature,” said DNR Director Roger Lande.
