TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2002 Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski (R) named Ernesta Ballard, former chief executive for an Alaska Native village corporation, to his administration. Ballard will serve as a commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation. Some environmentalists are concerned about her close ties to the industry. As chief executive of the Cape Fox Corp., she oversaw logging operations for the corporation. She left that post in 1995 to open a consulting business which has a number of timber clients. She was a regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency under President Reagan from 1983 to 1996. Get the Story:
