In response to a previous post found here, Peter Schmidt offers this response which we publish unedited and complete.
“In response to Rachel West’s October 10, 2009, post on Bearing Drift, the writer is incorrect in stating there is any connection whatsoever between Agglite and the Battlefield Golf Club. Agglite was not involved with any marketing, advocacy, supply, sales or placement of any materials delivered to any portion of that project.
“Ms. West also implies a conflict between my service as DEQ Director and my business ventures. This also is incorrect, as I completely recused myself from any existing regulations or any regulatory initiatives already well underway prior to my arrival at the department to avoid any real or perceived conflict of interest.”
