You go Ernie!
Governor Bryant Appoints Ernie Zimmerman to Commission on Marine Resources ~ Governor’s Office Press Release
BILOXI—Gov. Phil Bryant today announced the appointment of Ernie Zimmerman of Waveland to the Commission on Marine Resources.
The Commission on Marine Resources steers the vision of the Department of Marine Resources. Zimmerman has been a member of the Coastal Conservation Association since 2002 and currently serves as president of the Bay St. Louis chapter, a position he also held from 2002-2007. He also is a member of the Mississippi Wildlife Federation.
It is my hope the 4 commissioners that were asleep at the switch while former executive director Bill Walker and his family were looting out the agency that are still on the CMR don’t ruin Ernie, especially those such as Commissioner Jimmy Taylor, who personally benefitted from Bill Walker’s Conprofit Yacht scheme. How those guys are still on the CMR defies the imagination.
Regardless congratulations to Ernie Zimmerman from his peeps at Slabbed.
This seems like a good choice. Does not appear to be the political selection that we normally see. CCA has a strong following on the Coast with most members involved in improving the marine environment. Jimmy Taylor has been hanging on until he feels his image has been repaired I am told. He is responsible for the misuse of taxpayers money in an amount much greater than Grant Larsen. That being said how does one get indicted and the other does not even get a demand letter? He should have paid with his position on the CMR months ago.
