Toni Hardesty is an excellent public servant, in the truest meaning of the term. We are fortunate to have had her working for us.
I am sure that she will continue to do good work at the Nature Conservancy.

And just a day or two after she testified that DEQ workers were leaving for better paying jobs in the private sector. What a great punctuation to her testimony. Good luck Toni, your service in hard times was appreciated.

Given the news about Bob Geddes last week, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get the nod.
