EPA employees put names to ‘declaration of dissent’ over agency moves under Trump

A group of Environmental Protection Agency employees has published a declaration of dissent to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin over the agency’s leadership and policies.

A group of Environmental Protection Agency employees on Monday published a declaration of dissent from the agency’s policies under the Trump administration, saying they “undermine the EPA mission of protecting human health and the environment.”

More than 170 EPA employees put their names to the document, with about 100 more signing anonymously out of fear of retaliation, according to Jeremy Berg, a former editor-in-chief of Science magazine who is not an EPA employee but was among non-EPA scientists or academics to also sign. The latter figure includes 20 Nobel laureates.


Suggestion to Zeldin, make this offer to the 170: Quit now or be fired, your services aren't needed. Then use the polygraph to find as many of the anonymous 100 as possible, then fire them. I doubt that there is even one employee at the EPA who is essential.

I suspect that if all 270 of these employees were to be fired today, the EPA would keep humming right along without a pause.
 

‘Zero Tolerance’: EPA Puts Rogue Minority of Staffers on Leave, Launches Investigation into Effort to Upend Will of American People​

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Lee Zeldin on Thursday put a rogue minority of staffers on leave and launched an investigation into staffers that are seeking to upend the will of the American people regarding President Trump’s energy dominance policies.

“We have a ZERO tolerance policy for agency bureaucrats unlawfully undermining, sabotaging, and undercutting the agenda of this administration as voted for by the great people of this country last November. The will of the American public will not be ignored at our agency,” Zeldin said in a written statement to Breitbart News.

The leader of the EPA will place 144 employees, a fraction of the agency’s 15,000-plus staffers, on administrative leave pending further investigation after some employees exploited their titles and official status as EPA employees to push a partisan agenda that does not reflect the will of the American people, who elected Donald Trump as the 47th president.


Well done, Zeldin. I imagine most of these yahoos will be unemployed in short order. I wouldn't think the EPA would need 15,000 employees...
