Didn't see this on here anywhere.
COLUMBUS – Ray Petering is out as chief of the Ohio Division of Wildlife and has been replaced by Mike Miller, a longtime employee of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. ODNR director James Zehringer announced the change Wednesday in a letter to the ODNR staff.
Zehringer’s letter said Petering, who was named chief at wildlife in November of 2015, was “returning to retirement.” Petering had been at odds with the ODNR leadership over a number of issues, including the direction and funding of the wildlife division. He had retired as acting assistant chief in 2011, and then brought more than 30 years of experience to the post when he came out of retirement to lead the wildlife division, and at the time Zehringer called Petering “the ideal candidate for this job.”
Petering’s abrupt departure comes on the heels of the recent resignation of Mike Budzik, who had been the primary adviser to Gov. John Kasich on matters involving the ODNR. Budzik, a former chief of the Division of Wildlife, laid out a scathing rebuke of the ODNR leadership in his lengthy resignation letter.
