On Jan. 27, Biden signed an executive order tackling “the climate crisis at home and abroad.”
The executive order set a detailed framework of greater protection of the environment, including dedicating 30% of the land in the U.S. as well as 30% of the seas on the shoreline to conservation.
The order does not define the conservation measures.
Dodge County has started taking applications to fill the county attorney position left by Oliver Glass.
The Dodge County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to advertise for the position with a deadline of March 9 at 3 p.m. at its meeting Wednesday morning.
