Rich Negrin
Josh Shapiro has nominated Rich Negrin, a former top official (and Deputy Mayor) of Philadelphia, to become the next Secretary of the Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP). Negrin has some (not a lot of) energy-related experience. He was vice president for four years at Commonwealth Edison, the largest electric utility in Illinois, handling regulatory policy and strategy where his role was to push and promote so-called renewable energy, electric vehicles, and energy efficiency. He has zero oil and gas experience. Oh, and Mr. Negrin briefly played for the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets in his youth.
