Executive and Legislative Nominations Committee
Room 1000, Legislative Office Building
Hartford, CT 06106
Dear Executive and Legislative Nominations Committee Members:
The Connecticut League of Conservation Voters is delighted to support Daniel Esty’s nomination as Commissioner of the proposed Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
Professor Esty’s legal and management background, his internationally acclaimed expertise in energy and the environment, his prestigious academic and scholarship accomplishments at Yale and as a Rhodes Scholar, and his stellar reputation among businesses who have consulted him on sustainability, undeniably render him an inspired choice for this post.
The State of Connecticut is most fortunate that Professor Esty is willing to take on this challenge and lead the Department of Environmental Protection in a new direction, which will logically incorporate and address Connecticut’s longstanding neglect of energy policy.
We stand ready to help Professor Esty build a bridge to an innovative, prosperous and environmentally-enlightened business community. Moreover, we fully believe he can help establish Connecticut as a highly competitive leader, both nationally and internationally, as we move into the clean energy economy that undoubtedly awaits.
We emphatically support Professor Esty as the right person, at the right time, for Connecticut’s Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection, and we urge you to confirm his nomination.
Sincerely yours,
G. Kenneth Bernhard, Co-Chair (R-Westport)
David B. Bingham, MD, Co-Chair (D-Salem)
