Timm OjuLsiter. Surprises Voigt 2 THE CAPITAL TIMES, Friday, May 23, 1975 Todays RECORDS MADISON 15 43 4 09 38 4 61 87 4 83 S3 11 Administration and Luccy to approve a long-delayed. reorganization. Twenty-two top-level management positions are now being filled on a temporary or acting basis. Approval, which is expected, would start the" somctimes-lcngthy civil service process of filling the posts.

The process, coupled with Voigts ouster and the pending demotions of Deputy Secretary John Beale and Executive Assistant Donald Mackie could lead to much of the clean sweep demanded by DNR critics. The department has been under criticism for more than two years for alleged mismanagement. The DNR board has hired a consultant to review the process and Lucey appointed special counsel to investigate mismanagement charges fevelled in newspaper stories. Reaction to the board's action on Voigt generally followed partisan political lines. 1 Today Friday, May J3, tho 143rd day of'1975 with 232 to follow.

Voigt knew it was coming, but. he was still somewhat bitter late Thursday after the state Natural Resources Board had in effect fired him as secretary. "It had all the dements at a cabal, bat I have as sabstaitlaUoR af It," Voigt told newsmen after the meeting. Voigt said he was "surprised" that the new Democratic appointees to the board were ready to act on his ouster. "I'm a little surprised that aiysae canid make aa IndepeadeRt dedsiea without attending a meeting," added Voigt, for 21 years the head of the DNR and its predecessor department.

DNR Board Chairman Harold "Bud" Jordahl Jr. had talked with Voigt Tuesday and explained the boards intentions. Jordahl had blocked early attempts by DNR board members Lawrence Dahl and Thomas Fox to start the search for a replacement for Voigt. Jordahl made the motion to start the machinery during Thursdays meeting. He said the additional Democratic appointees on the board convinced him a majority wanted that action taken.

Gov. Patrick LuctY had been "advised of the boards decision in a courtesy" call in his office, Jordahl said. Jordahl is a key environmental adviser governor. Pressed by reporters, Jordahl said he would aot accept ai appointment replacing Voigt "under any circumstances. Under the board's 6-to-l action, the DNR will conduct a nationwide search for a successor to Voigt.

Jordahl said it could take a substantial amount of time. Voigt who will be SO on June 5, will serve as executive assistant to the secretary after his replacement Is selected. Voigt is scheduled to retire at age 82. Jordahl predicted that the board will appoint a new secretary who is both acceptable to board members and to Lucey. He was asked if Lucey would have veto power or if the DNR would be more politically oriented.

He noted he was an unofficial adviser to Lucey, adding that all board members were Lucey appointees. He said he hoped the board's goals would be among the broader goals of the Luccy administration. The governor's views of Voigt's successor will be sought. I wwdd sera Us advice. We want a mss is wham bath the btard and (he gtvernar have ctsfldente, said Jordahl.

"Slate aadits have shm aa abase ef pswer la the highest ecbelsss (he departmest," said McKenna. State Rep. Lloyd Kincaid (R-Crandon) criticized the DNR board's handling of the Voigt matter.
