And the • Senate Environmental Resources Committee, after reviewing testimony given last week, voted 17-1 to approve the nomination of Clifford Jones to head the Department of En vironmental Resources.

Former Revenue Secretary Milt Lopus already had begun a purge of past corrupt practices in the department, where 83 percent of the 3,600 jobs are considered patronage. “We’re not going to run a political operation at Revenue,” said Cohen without being specific on how his merit Corrections i r>!j<.
