How are EPA scientists supposed to engage in cutting edge research when they cannot find what the agency has already done?
I feel like I?m in downtown Beirut. The employee paranoia level is through the roof.
If our national parks are going to be reduced to performing only the bare minimum of ?core operations,' the public ought to be given some say as to what is considered essential.
The Forest Service appears to be having an internal fire sale, with the heart of our national forests put out for bid on eBay. We may soon see the Weyerhaeuser National Forest patrolled by rent-a-rangers, overseen by private consultants.
We think it?s very ironic this is happening under an administration that was re-elected because of its values. The larger challenge for the vast majority of (public employees) is: How can they do their jobs faithfully, and survive?
It's precisely the opposite of the purpose of the land.
It doesn't necessarily mean anything, because it has no more standing than if you or I asked for an investigation.
It's going to hamper the ability of EPA staff to do their jobs.
Before the election, that information (that scientists were making public) could have been the straw that broke the camel?s back.
