(AP) - Gov. Tim Pawlenty has promoted a deputy commissioner to lead the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
Pawlenty's office says Paul Eger becomes MPCA commissioner immediately.
He replaces Brad Moore, who left the agency in December for a private-sector job.
Eger most recently served as deputy commissioner and has worked for the MPCA since 2002.
Before that he was a committee administrator for the late Sen. Sam Solon, DFL-Duluth, and legislative assistant to Democratic Sen. James Metzen, who is now president of the Senate.
