Travis Fain, WRAL – Soon after the North Carolina Senate rejected his nominee to head the state’s Department of Environmental Quality Thursday, Gov. Roy Cooper announced a new job for her: clean energy director. In that new role, outgoing DEQ Secretary Dionne Delli-Gatti will focus on “administrative efforts to promote clean energy in North Carolina, including negotiating energy legislation” with lawmakers who just rejected her, the governor’s office said in a news release. Her new salary will be the same as the old one: $155,526 a year.
