Two women and two men were added to the Environmental Protection Commission today by Gov. Chet Culver.
Susan Healthcote -- head of water quality efforts for the Iowa Environmental Council since 1996 -- and Charlotte Hubbell -- a lawyer who has served as trustee of the Nature Conservancy and co-founder of the Iowa Environmental Council -- will join the nine member panel.
The two male appointees are Dale Cochran (Fort Dodge farmer who served as Secretary of Agriculture from 1987 to 1998 and a former Speaker of the House) and Ralph Klemme (LeMars farmer and former Republican legislator who headed the House Ag Committee and Resources Committee).
Interesting choices.

Isn't it interesting how women must be so much more qualified for an appointment than men are? Both women named to the panel have served for years in the environment protection field. The men have served the state and have farmed, but have not really had to be stewards of the environment.
