Statement on General Bickford by Governor Paul Patton


“Secretary Bickford has been one of the most successful secretaries in the history of the Natural Resources Cabinet. He provided leadership to one of the most controversial cabinets in state government. For seven years, he maintained the respect of the business community and environmentalists, and kept the interest of the Commonwealth foremost with his honesty, straight forwardness and sense of fairness.  He made a tremendous contribution to our administration and to the Commonwealth.  He will be sorely missed.”
