29 years. Prosecutions crossed the sociological spectrum from con-artists, dope dealers, rapists,
murderers, child molesters and political terrorists to business executives and public officials.

So, who _is_ he going to have on his team to help him enforce natural resources, environmental, and public nuisance laws? Or will he be too cowed by the people who paid for his negative campaign ads to enforce the laws?
I'm sure someone will be assigned.
99th/100 on the seniority scale.
Who cares about senority, as long as they are _effective_?
VanHollen will enforce the laws of the State, as written.
He will not make up interpretations, however, just to persecute cranberry farmers.
Nor will he allow DNR agents to work OUTSIDE the provisions of the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution.
