In an introductory speech he warned that the agency may not make everyone happy but he promised he and his administration would listen to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>He said that water quality is his top priority and praised Gov.

PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are man-made chemicals used widely in consumer products and certain types of firefighting foam. The chemicals don&#8217;t break down in the natural world and accumulate and linger in the human body for long periods.

Payne was serving as the Sheboygan County administrator when Evers tapped him.<\/p>\n<p>The board meeting also marked the first time that member Sandra Naas has been allowed to participate. Evers appointed Naas to replace Fred Prehn after Prehn&#8217;s term expired in May 2021. But Prehn refused to step down until the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/senate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state Senate confirmed<\/a> Naas. Republicans who control the chamber never held a hearing on Naas&#8217; appointment, maintaining GOP appointees&#8217; 4-3 majority on the board.<\/p>\n<p>Prehn finally resigned in December, opening a slot for Naas to serve unless the Senate votes to oust her. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/senate\/republicans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republican appointee William Bruins<\/a> resigned at the end of the year. Evers replaced him with farmer Paul Buhr.
