Cornell reappointed to NACo Environment, Energy and Land Use Committee

Press release from Alachua County

ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – Alachua County Commissioner Ken Cornell was recently reappointed to the National Association of Counties (NACo) Environment, Energy and Land Use Steering Committee.

“The realities of climate change require fresh ideas and approaches to these critical issues,” commented Cornell on the appointment. “I’m thankful for this opportunity, and I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting to work.”

In a letter to Cornell, NACo President James Gore wrote:

As president of NACo, it is my pleasure to confirm your reappointment as an Environment, Energy and Land Use Steering Committee member and offer my congratulations!

National Committee membership is a serious responsibility that takes commitment, but it is also a rewarding experience. NACo’s strength is in our committees, and your active participation will add to that strength. The expertise and engagement of our steering committee members like you is a major reason why Congress and federal agencies often look to NACo for feedback on legislative policy decisions being made in Washington D.C. This reappointment to a NACo steering committee also presents a great opportunity to share information and learn from your county colleagues.

As a member of the Environment, Energy and Land Use Steering Committee, it is important to stay informed of legislative and regulatory action relevant to your committee. Your NACo committee liaison is Charlotte Mitchell will send regular email correspondence to committee members, and you are responsible for reviewing the information supplied and responding accordingly.

As a member of a NACo steering committee, you are expected to participate in our monthly conference calls and attend both NACo’s Legislative Conference and Annual Conference. Monthly conference calls are a great way to stay up to date on developments from Capitol Hill and provide a platform to discuss county issues with your colleagues across the nation. Please note the following dates and locations for the upcoming conferences:

NACo 2025 Legislative Conference, March 1 – 4, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
NACo 2025 Annual Conference, July 11-14, 2025, in City and County of Philadelphia, Pa.

Again, congratulations on your reappointment to the Environment, Energy and Land Use Steering Committee. This promises to be an exciting year, and I look forward to working closely with you to further the goals of our nation’s counties.

  • Gosh, I feel so proud and relieved that such a wise person is being so properly recognized for his incredible brilliance, which will resound and reverberate brightly throughout the coming dark and climatically cold ages.

  • Hey, my little minion Mini-Kenny, you can thank me later for allowing you to stay on the NAC. I had to allow you to stay, (honestly you just wore me out begging for my blessing) because it is so funny, to me, that you and I are the biggest sources of HOT AIR in county and city, but I allowed you to stay on a committee concerned about climate change. The irony is cracks me up.

    • Yawn. The pathetic Mayor Ward impersonator with no accomplishments of his own, posts another tiresome, boring, banal comment. It’s sad that this “one-trick-pony” wannabe thinks that this is in any way clever.

      Bless his envious little heart.

      • What are Mayor Ward’s accomplishments? For that matter, what are Lil Kenny’s accomplishments? Circus/carnival work doesn’t count.

  • Kenny: do you burn the filthy face biohazard diapers or compost them
    With your paper straws?

    Can they go into the biomass plant to generate electricity? That would be a win-win.

    • You can put your dirty diapers in plastic bags and your trash receptacle. Thank you for being unashamed and sharing that you are in diapers.

      • Harris said she now doesn’t believe in banning plastic straws. How’s that going to work out in Liberalville.
