If problems develop, we will rescind the authorization. This is in line with the direction Gov. (Matt) Blunt provided when he ordered us to shut down RES in December.

I am confident that Mike will provide positive leadership in the new direction that Gov. Blunt has asked the department to pursue.

We all have a responsibility to be good stewards of our natural resources. Conserving our soil and water resources is vital to keeping fields productive and improving water quality throughout Missouri.

Our department is proud to be a part of this effort, which enhances the state as a whole as well as each individual that uses the trails.

It wasn't working out, ... There was some problems. We went into a different direction.

Come closer, boys. It will be easier for you.
