I think after looking at his accomplishments and former employments barnes looks too be a pretty good guy. I mean humble roots, college proffessor, epa employee.. so what hes a lawyer too. Hes not coming in to try and pollute the state and ill be damned if hes not smarter than that last lady trying to run that job

Great to see another Republican good ‘ol boy get appointed. Environment? We don’t need no stinking environment!

I look forward to the news stories about Barnes’ beliefs on global climate change and the ethics of approving permits for more coal-fired power plants.

So HAS HE REPRESENTED any of the “bad boys” in any environmental cases?
This would be invaluable information for my community, i.e. environmental justice that we, in SW Atlanta, are dealing with right now, since the Georgia EPD has turned a “blind eye” to the very blatant contaminators (huge pockets) in our neighborhood.

I see many more nuke and coal burning plants in Georgia’s future! Mercury & meltdowns!

They might as well go ahead hand over the rest of state government to King & Spalding.They already control most of it. Lawyers running DNR. Lawyers running EPD. I thought Republicans didn’t like lawyers! Our grandchildren will appreciate a ruined landscape, mercury tainted creeks and rivers, poisoned fish and coal smoke in every crevice of their lungs. These K&S lawyers would sell out their own grandchildren’s health and welfare for a little current cash from the utilties.

[...] Good call, Sonny. F. Allen Barnes will be the new director of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division if Gov. Sonny Perdue’s choice for the job is approved by the Department of Natural Resources board on Wednesday. [...]

Great idea Howard! I’ll see what I can do about that. But don’t tell my bosses. They might not think it’s as funny.

“Dude, it’s a blog” should definitely be the new tagline for Gold Dome Live!
