Acting DEP Commissioner or Permanent Replacement

by: Jason Springer

Mon Nov 10, 2008 at 07:49:25 AM EST



Both the Capitol Quickies blog and the Star Ledger Auditor Column report that assistant DEP commissioner Mark Mauriello will become the acting Commissioner replacing Lisa Jackson.  The Auditor goes one step further saying the selection may be more permanent:
Mauriello, an assistant DEP commissioner in charge of land-use management, will run the department on an acting basis. But sources tell the Auditor the Corzine administration plans to nominate him to the cabinet post, not just as acting commissioner.
Whether he is acting or permanent, it appears that Mauriello will be assuming the reins at DEP for at least the near future.  Jeff Tittle said the Sierra Club would prefer a different selection:
"Mark will be a very good acting commissioner, but we'd like to see someone like a Karen Kominsky," Tittel said, referring to the lobbyist, veteran Democratic operative and former deputy chief of staff for Govs. James McGreevey and Richard Codey.
Whoever becomes the Commissioner, there is plenty of work ahead for DEP.  They have to deal with proposed new remediation guidelines, the State Parks are being closed on weekends due to budget issues, there are continuing disagreements with the Highlands Act and don't forget everything dealing with the new Energy Master Plan.
