This is part two of ThinkProgress’s State of Conflicted Interest series.

Over the past seven years, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has overseen a sweeping rollback of state environmental protections, implementing a suite of industry-friendly policies that have since been embraced by the Trump administration at the national level.

During his tenure, Walker has cut back on enforcementoverlooked air and water pollution, and scrubbed climate change information from government websites — all drastic actions Scott Pruitt has also taken at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Now, the person Walker hired to implement his pro-industry vision for environmental regulation has a key leadership position in the EPA. Cathy Stepp, who served under Walker as head of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), left last August to become deputy administrator of EPA Region 7 in Kansas City. In mid-December, she was promoted to the top job at EPA Region 5 in Chicago, overseeing the six-state Great Lakes region of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

Rampant conflicts of interest among state environmental officials

Regional EPA administrators come from varied professional backgrounds. Some have state environmental experience, while others come with management backgrounds but little or no experience working on environmental issues.

“We’ve had a range of administrators in Region 5,” George Czerniak, former director of the air and radiation division for EPA Region 5, told ThinkProgress. “Some have been good and some have been less than that.”

Czerniak, who retired from the EPA in 2016 after nearly 40 years, said a regional administrator “can be pretty powerful,” with the ability to affect the direction and effectiveness of a multi-state environmental protection effort.

Starting with reports in the spring of 2017 that Pruitt wanted to close the Region 5 office, followed by Stepp’s appointment later in the year, Czerniak said he’s heard “morale is not very good at this time.”

“I see an administration coming in and viewing EPA and their staff as the enemy,” he said. “I don’t see a great environmental ethic there.”

According to Pruitt, however, Stepp had the ideal credentials for a regional administrator.

“Cathy Stepp’s experience working as a statewide cabinet official, elected official, and small business owner will bring a fresh perspective to EPA as we look to implement President Trump’s agenda,” Pruitt said in a statement late last year.

Environmental Protection Agency Region 5

Stepp and Walker often stated that their goal was to make the DNR more business-friendly. Stepp told her staff before leaving for the EPA that she planned to bring “some of the reforms we’ve been able to put in place here in Wisconsin to the national stage.”

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 9,000 EPA employees nationwide, chided Pruitt for selecting Stepp to lead the Region 5 office. “Oh boy, here comes another non-scientist who doesn’t acknowledge that climate change is real,” John O’Grady, president of the EPA union, AFGE Council 238, said in a statement last December.

“If her record at Wisconsin DNR is any indication, Ms. Stepp will successfully cut funding for enforcement, along with fines for violations,” O’Grady said.

A model for good and bad

Weakening environmental enforcement efforts was one part of the plan hatched by Walker and the Republican-controlled Wisconsin legislature to undermine institutions in a state known for its progressive values.

The impacts of anti-union legislation signed into law in 2011 and 2012, together with proposed state budget cuts, gave rise to mass protests. The Wisconsin uprising, as it became known, set the stage for Occupy Wall Street and other influential protest movements, and ultimately helped build momentum behind Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) 2016 presidential run.

Wisconsin has a biennial budget, meaning the state budget includes information about how money will be spent for a two-year period. Walker’s first three state budgets cut a total of $59 million from the DNR and eliminated nearly 200 positions, including half of its science researchers.

Ultimately, Walker’s success in implementing his pro-business, anti-union policies provided a model for right-wing politicians at both the state and national levels.

“Wisconsin was sort of the testing ground for what the EPA is now doing,” Kerry Schumann, executive director of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters, told ThinkProgress. “It literally feels like everything that’s going on in the Trump administration right now is what we’ve been living through for seven years.”

Wisconsin was not always known for having such a pro-industry environmental agency. Prior to Stepp taking over as DNR secretary in 2011, the agency was viewed as one of the best of its kind in the country, according to Schumann.

“The DNR was ahead of most of other states. It wasn’t that long ago that states were coming to us to see how we were doing things,” said Schumann.

But priorities quickly changed under Stepp, who, prior to running the DNR, served one term in the Wisconsin Senate from 2003 to 2007 where she sought to weaken the state’s environmental laws. Before that, she owned a home-building business.

In November 2010, the DNR’s main climate change webpage contained detailed information about climate trends, forecasted impacts of climate change, and state programs aimed at addressing the problem. The page also acknowledged that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the most renowned group of scientists working on climate change, stated that it is very likely — more than 95 percent probability — that human activity is responsible for rising temperatures.

With Walker as governor, the page was scrubbed to cast doubt on the scientific consensus. “As it has done throughout the centuries, the earth is going through a change,” the DNR webpage now says. “The reasons for this change at this particular time in the earth’s long history are being debated and researched by academic entities outside the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.”

Stepp took pride in bringing private-sector principles — holding discussions with polluters instead of assessing financial penalties, for instance — to the state environmental agency. Industry reportedly viewed the Wisconsin DNR as a “safe space” where they could seek advice that helped them comply with regulations and avoid environmental violations.

The department of natural resources declined to respond to ThinkProgress’ requests for comment on its operations.

Environmental protection becomes an afterthought

In 2016, the Obama EPA threatened to withdraw Wisconsin’s authority to enforce federal water pollution laws due to complaints about contamination from dairy farms, industry, and wastewater treatment.

Lax environmental enforcement drove lawmakers’ concerns that the state could return to the polluted conditions that existed before enactment of the federal Clean Water Act in 1972. A report released in 2016 and prepared by the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau found that Wisconsin’s water quality regulators failed to follow their own policies on enforcement against polluters more than 94 percent of the time over the previous decade.

Environmental groups decry reluctance of Pruitt’s regional EPA chiefs to go after polluters

“The DNR can no longer hide behind the implication that facilities are just doing a better job of complying with their permits,” Jimmy Parra, a Midwest Environmental Advocates attorney, told The Journal Times. “The reality is that DNR isn’t inspecting facilities as it should be and isn’t taking enforcement action in accordance with its own policy.”

Upon her departure for the EPA, Stepp was replaced by Daniel Meyer as secretary of the DNR. Like Stepp, Meyer is a former Republican state lawmaker, and spent 12 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly.

Meyer’s voting record earned him an approval rating of under 37 percent from the League of Conservation Voters. But the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation said his grasp of how environmental protection improves hunting and fishing may make him an improvement over Stepp.

In one of the DNR’s first important decisions with Meyer at the helm, the agency granted air permits last month to Foxconn Technology Group’s planned manufacturing facility in Racine County. Emissions from the controversial plant are expected to rank among the highest in southeastern Wisconsin for pollutants that create smog, or ozone pollution.

“I’m outraged that Gov. Walker’s administration shoved through these permits despite valid objections from concerned residents,” state Rep. Dana Wachs (D), who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor, said in a statement last month.

Former Wisconsin DNR employees go rogue

After Stepp took over as head of the DNR, morale gradually began to worsen. The agency lost many talented employees — some were laid off due to budget cuts and others took early retirement because they did not want to work at an agency that devalued environmental enforcement.

An environmental agency that no longer prioritized science also meant many DNR scientists lost their jobs. In 2015, the Republican-controlled legislature voted to adopt Walker’s plan to eliminate half of the DNR’s senior science staff as part of an overall reduction of 80 positions at the agency.

In response to Walker’s attack on the DNR, former agency employees started a new group in early 2017 to fight back. The group, Wisconsin’s Green Fire, wants to restore the state’s “proud tradition of dedicated stewardship of its land, waters, and wildlife,” which have been “severely compromised” under the Walker administration.

Named after a biographical film about famed conservationist Aldo Leopold, the group’s goal is to educate state officials and the public in order to fill the void created in recent years by a Republican-led legislature and DNR administrators. Members of the group plan to testify at hearings, speak to civic groups, give media interviews, and continue the public information work they did during their careers at the agency.

“It’s a perfect example of how people were so demoralized, they jumped ship on the DNR and ended up starting this independent group to try to fill in some gaps that have been left by the DNR,” Schumann said.

Terry Daulton, a former biologist and researcher at the DNR, told the Green Bay Press Gazette that she hopes Wisconsin Green Fire will quickly eliminate its reason for existing by helping the agency reclaim its duties to the public.

But the damage caused by Walker and Stepp won’t be easily repaired. As the Press Gazette reported, Wisconsin state Rep. Nick Milroy (D) estimated it will take at least 20 years to rebuild the DNR to what it was 10 years ago.

A Reparations Map for Farmers of Color May Help Right Historical Wrongs

In an effort to address centuries of systemic racism, a new online tool seeks to connect Black, brown, and Indigenous farmers with land and resources.

When Leah Penniman and her family founded Soul Fire Farm, in Petersburg, New York in 2011, they had a vision of a multi-racial, sustainable farming organization that would run food sovereignty programs with the goal of ending racism and injustice in the food system.

To achieve these goals, Soul Fire Farm offers training to Black and brown farmers, activism retreats, food justice education, subsidized food distribution, and, as of February, is leading a movement of Black farmers who are calling for reparations for centuries of slavery, systemic racism, and racial inequity in the U.S.

“If African-American people [had been] paid $20 per week for our agricultural labor rather than being enslaved, we would have trillions in the bank today,” Penniman says. She adds that those numbers don’t include the many other ways Black and brown people have been excluded from the tools that have allowed white people to succeed for centuries, such as access to crediteducation, and home ownership opportunities.

“There is a reason why the typical white household today has 16 times the wealth of a typical Black household,” Penniman says, noting that the gap is “often traceable back to slavery.” According to the Brookings Institute, 35 to 45 percent of wealth in the U.S. is inherited rather than self-made and a recent report from the Center for American Progress on disparities in wealth between Blacks and whites suggests that long-held, structural racism is the biggest reason for the gap.

Many organizations and individuals have called for reparations—financial payments made today to help make good on the systemic injustices of the past 400 years—as a way to begin to level the playing field and create equity.

Penniman’s online mapping tool currently includes 52 organizations around the country led by farmers of color who are calling for reparations. The map details farmers in need of land, resources, and funding, and aims to connect them with organizations, foundations, and individual donors to support their work.

Clicking on one of the participating farms on the map reveals details of its operations, its needs, and how to engage with the people who run it. Penniman is careful to point out that the reparations map is an effort designed to be complementary to, but not a substitute for, the larger national effort for reparations being coordinated by the National Black Food and Justice Alliance.

The History of Reparations

The call for reparations dates back to the federal government’s failure make good on its promise of “40 acres and a mule” to newly freed slaves after the Civil War under General William T. Sherman’s Special Field Order No. 15, created in January of 1865, and later approved by President Lincoln. By June of the same year, 40,000 freedmen had been settled on 400,000 acres of what was known as Sherman Land in the South.

The money generated from farming that land, gave Black families the opportunity to create financial mobility and economic security. By 1920, Black Americans owned 925,000 farms, or 14 percent of the farms in the U.S. at that time.

Yet, the promise didn’t last. Over time, millions of farmers, including 600,000 Blacks, lost their farms—often because they lacked legal deeds to the land. By 1975, just 45,000 Black-owned farms remained. The 2012 Census of Agriculture estimated that Black farmers now make up less than 2 percent of the nation’s farmers and 1 percent of rural landowners.

According to Penniman, the promised 40 acres and a mule would be worth $6.4 trillion collectively today. The call for reparations, and efforts like the map, are ways to help make Black farmers and their families whole. Penniman says her group used Google Maps to build the tool because “it’s simple to use and decentralized,” although she says she would love for “a techy person to take this over at some point and make the platform more sophisticated.”

The process is simple: Farmers file an application and Soul Fire adds their information to the map. From there the farmer can go into the map and make changes and add information on his or her own farm or needs. “We found that the mapping was more visually engaging compared to using a spreadsheet. Everyone can edit their own pin on the map without a gatekeeper,” Penniman says of the farmers who apply to be a part of the project. To date, more than 53,000 people have visited the map.

The Birth of the Reparations Map

The original idea to take on reparations came out of a conversation Penniman had with Viviana Moreno, a farmer from Chicago, at Soul Fire Farm’s Black and Latinx Farmers Immersion (BLFI) program. “We were all talking about two farms, Harmony Homestead and Wildseed, as examples of reparations and restoration, and she said we need more of this type of people-to-people giving,” Penniman says.

“The realities of being Black, Indigenous, and brown people in the United States means many of us have little to no access to land, [or] many of the resources needed to run a small vegetable farm sustainably,” Moreno says. “As we were discussing this, I asked Penniman ‘Why, if there are so many of us, don’t we create a sort of database that would feature all of our collective needs and projects?’”

Penniman liked the idea, and she gathered with a group of Black and brown farmers to create the map over the next few months. As soon as it was up, the group sent invitations to all the farmer-alumni from the BLFI program, as well as to other Black, Indigenous, and brown farmers, asking them to add their projects to the map.

The farms and projects currently listed on the map are broadly diverse: Farmers identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and multi-racial, hail from large cities and rural communities, and are seeking help getting started or expanding their work to reach more farmers and eaters.

Moreno’s Catatumbo Cooperative Farm is now listed on the reparations map, seeking funds to start farming land in rural Illinois. Moreno and her partners, Jazmin Martinez and Nadia Sol Ireri Unzueta Carrasco, are all queer, immigrant worker-owners. Their long-term goal is to acquire land in rural Illinois while maintaining a connection to communities in Chicago.

Eduardo Rivera is another farmer that signed on to the reparations map. Currently leasing land outside of Minneapolis for Sin Fronteras Farm, he hopes to use the map to help him buy land or secure a much longer-term lease than his current leased lands. “I signed on after I saw what Soul Fire was doing and was hoping that it will help me acquire the land I need,” Rivera says.

“Being organic gives you more opportunities and access,” he says. “My plans are to grow organic year-round, but I can’t do that on leased land—I think the cost is prohibitive.” Rivera hopes to expand his operations to grow more foods for the Latinx/Mexicanx community and also create an incubator for other indigenous farmers and farmers of color. While it is still too soon to know if the mapping project will get him the land he needs, he says it has gotten him noticed, and he is hopeful.

According to Penniman, there were other projects that informed and inspired them in creating the reparations map. Pigford v. Glickman, the famous 1990s lawsuit from Black farmers who sued the USDA for racial bias in its lending practices, was the largest civil rights settlement in U.S. history, and it still was not enough to stem the tide of Black land loss, according to Penniman. But she adds that they cannot rely on organizing around policy alone. “We need to rely on reaching out, and touching hearts, and catalyzing action in our communities.”

Soul Fire Farms trains farmers to become advocates for reparations. “Someone has to be doing the right storytelling and facing the foundations,” she says. They are calling upon funders to be partners in helping to make Black and brown farmers whole. “It’s not just about money. It’s about power and control. It should be the people who are directly affected who have that power and that control, not those who inherited extracted wealth,” Penniman says.

Penniman has a list of specific actions for foundations and other donors who want to help end racism in the food system as part of her upcoming book, Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm’s Definitive Guide to Liberation on Land. “Some of the things foundations can do are to have more geographic, class, and racial equity, prioritizing funding for the Deep South and underfunded regions, as well as, streamline the reporting and applications process,” she says. “They need to transform the expectations and relationships tied to their funding to support the organizers on the frontlines.”

“Being a part of the project also helps us to start a discussion about issues around land justice, reparations, solidarity economies, and much more,” says Moreno. She adds that it is important because their work is not independent of other issues our communities face. “We definitely want to receive tangible resources, yet we are also looking to engage in conversations where we creatively think about what distribution of resources and wealth means and how to center the needs of historically oppressed communities.”

Penniman says that both systemic and policy change are important. “Some policies that we should all advocate for [include] passing H.R. 40,” Rep. John Conyers’ long-introduced but never-discussed proposal for a commission to study and develop proposals for reparations to African-Americans. Penniman says the bill could lead to such restorative solutions as a guaranteed minimum or universal basic income to cover all basic needs and free and universal education for pre-K through university.

While the reparations movement in the U.S. gets the most attention, Penniman points out that it isn’t the only place that is dealing with issues of land and money stolen from farmers of color. “I think there’s a lot of groups within Via Campesina, the international peasant movement, that have called for reparations as well,” she says. “Our work here is echoing that larger global movement in calling for the return of stolen land and resources.”

Solar energy farms gaining traction in Nebraska

Solar energy farms gaining traction in Nebraska

By Grant Schulte and Tess Williams, Associated Press       June 3, 2108

Lexington, Nebraska Solar Farm, GenPro Energy Solutions.  The solar farm went online in May 2017 and was at the time the largest solar project in the State at 3.57 MW AC power.

Lincoln, Neb. (AP) — Solar energy is gaining traction in Nebraska as a growing number of cities adopt the technology, and state officials are looking for ways to help the trend along.

The technology has become so popular that some cities have had to expand their recently built solar farms or build new ones to keep pace with customer demand.

Many of the cities are taking advantage of the Nebraska Public Power District’s SunWise Community Solar Program, approved in 2016 to help cities and villages adopt solar power in a central location for residents to use.

The program has helped launch new solar farms in Scottsbluff, Venango and Kearney since 2017, and more than half a dozen other cities have expressed interest, said NPPD General Retail Manager Tim Arlt.

Separately, Fremont is moving forward with a second solar farm due to high demand on the first array that went live earlier this year.

                                                         Lexington, Nebraska

Fremont City Administrator Brian Newton said the farm allows customers to buy their own solar panel or pay a one-time fee to use power generated in the farm. He said the first farm sold out to 217 residents within seven weeks.

Arlt said the challenges include finding available land that’s close enough to feed into NPPD’s grid and making sure the local grid can handle the additional power.

“We want to say yes if a community wants it,” he said.

Nebraska lawmakers may review some of the challenges as well.

Sen. Rick Kolowski, of Omaha, has introduced a legislative study to explore ways to promote solar energy, noting its environmental benefits. Kolowski said he wants to see the state use renewable resources more effectively, and he hopes the study could lead to legislation that would provide incentives or tax breaks to encourage more solar energy.

“This isn’t going away,” Kolowski said. “We have to do it not just for ourselves, but for the future of our state.”

The NPPD arrays let residents buy into solar energy without having to install their own rooftop panels. Residents who want to use the energy shoulder the expense to keep the costs from shifting to those who don’t.

Despite its rapid growth in Nebraska, solar energy has spread faster in some areas than others because of the state’s patchwork of local public utilities, said Cliff Mesner, a Central City attorney, developer and solar energy advocate.

Homeowners who don’t live in an area that offers solar energy have few options other than to install solar panels on their property, Mesner said. That in turn can draw objections from neighborhood groups that don’t like the appearance of solar panels on rooftops or in yards.

Also concerning is the looming threat of tariffs on aluminum and steel, with are used in solar arrays and could substantially raise costs, Mesner said. President Donald Trump recently signed a bill to extend a federal solar tax credit for homeowners, but it’s scheduled to expire in 2021.

Mesner said solar energy has grown faster in states with higher electric rates than Nebraska’s because purchasing it made financial sense. But as Nebraska’s rates rise, he said, solar will become more feasible.

“I think it’s made some great strides in the last few years, but we are behind where other states have been,” Mesner said. “We’re doing some great things right now, but we’ve got a long, long ways to go.”

Mesner said many homeowners have bought into solar because the costs are fixed for 20 to 25 years as electricity prices continue to rise. Many current solar customers are paying more now, but could end up saving money over the long term, he said.

Kearney launched Nebraska’s largest community solar array last year on 53 acres of city-owned land near a technology park. The farm can meet about 5 percent of the city’s peak energy needs, enough to power 900 homes.

City officials partnered with NPPD to connect the system to the city’s grid and sold off shares of the electricity it produces.

So far, city officials have sold or reserved about 90 percent of the shares and will use some as a recruiting tool for new businesses that want to use green energy, said Kearney Mayor Stan Clouse. The University of Nebraska at Kearney bought about half of the total shares in an effort to use more renewable energy and hedge against long-term price increases.

“It’s still in the infant stages, but I’m optimistic,” Clouse said.

Clouse said his city approved the project to give residents more energy choices and potentially attract small and mid-sized technology companies with the promise of renewable energy. City officials can’t install wind turbines in the area because it’s in the migratory flight path of Nebraska’s Sandhill cranes, Clouse said.

Clouse, an account manager for the Nebraska Public Power District, pointed to Facebook’s decision in 2013 to build a data center in Altoona, Iowa, instead of Kearney, citing nearby wind energy as one factor.
