Supreme Court: Prehn can keep his NRB seat |
On a 4-3 vote, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled last week that a member of the state's Natural Resources Board whose term expired more than a year ago can keep serving until the state Senate approves a replacement.
Fred Prehn was appointed to the board in 2015 by then Gov. Scott Walker; his term ended May 1, 2021. Gov. Tony Evers tapped Sandra Naas to replace him, but the Republican-controlled state Senate has declined to schedule a hearing and confirmation vote, and Prehn has refused to resign, arguing that a 1964 state Supreme Court ruling allows him to stay on the board until the Senate confirms a successor.
