WFU Responds to Randy Romanski Named Secretary of DATCP
"We’re extremely happy that Gov. Doyle made this appointment,” said Wisconsin Farmers Union President Darin Von Ruden. “There were questions in the agricultural community about whether the position would be filled during the last few months of the Doyle administration, and such an important position shouldn’t be left open. Naming someone of Randy’s quality was a good move.”
Wisconsin Farmers Union Executive Director said he’s worked with Romanski in many capacities over the years."
“Randy really knows his way around government and knows the importance of taking reasoned approaches to problem-solving,” Schultz said. “His best quality is that he listens to people before moving ahead.”
State Agriculture Secretary Rod Nilsestuen, who last month died in a swimming accident, did well in mentoring Romanski about the importance farmers and the land play in Wisconsin’s economy and culture, Schultz said.
Von Ruden said Romanski will be the first to admit that Nilsestuen will be impossible to replace.
“It’s a shame the appointment came as the result of us losing Rod, but I know Randy will do all he can to help assure the work Rod started in the department gets carried on.” |
