renee cipriano

renee cipriano is the former director of the illinois environmental protection agency .
she left the illinois epa in may 2005 after almost four years as director .
her successor is douglas p. scott .
she is currently a lawyer at schiff hardin llp .
a february 9 , 2006 chicago tribune article written by michael hawthorne raised the issue of cipriano registering as a lobbyist for ameren less than a year after leaving public office .
the article cites a 2003 ethics law barring state employees from working for companies they formerly regulated for at least one year .
however , the article also stated that an epa spokeswoman argued `` that the law does n't apply to cipriano 's new job lobbying for a power company subject to scores of environmental regulations . ''
still , cipriano has been the subject of much ridicule on the web over the information contained in this article .
