Second: Any government position titled "Environmentalist [I, II, III, XXLVI, whatever] is going to attract lunatics who are faithful believers in a pseudoscience. Their delusions are shared by lots of good-hearted folk, so they can mostly practice their false religion without too much pushback.

Combine 1 and 2, you produce a monster.

Repeal the whole thing.

I guess it's a good thing those position titles are: Shoreland Outreach Specialist, Shoreland Permitting Specialist, and Shoreland Compliance Specialist. Otherwise we might have accidentally hired a bunch of lunatics...

I haven't had any dealings (yet) with DES but I do want to say that the helpful, informative and reasonable postings by Shore Things in this forum on all things related to the Act don't lead me to dread that possibility.
