re: Jeff Landry’s LDWF

Care to provide a link so we can see if you're talking about LDWF or DEQ?

Agree.

And they sure as hell like stopping you. every. damn. time. you're. on. the. water.

Way overstaffed...

Pretty much this. A twenty-something year old from Ohio with no experience or qualifications for the role. Just there to step into a federal appointment.

I don't believe she's who you're thinking of, man....Giacometto isn't running the LDWF....


Aurelia Giacometto

quote:

---

Louisiana's environmental agency, hit by top-level resignations and fierce criticism of its new leader, will now undergo an independent audit of its "workplace culture," including asking employees if they are concerned about unethical behavior or have experienced workplace retaliation.

The Louisiana Legislative Auditor's Office will carry out the review of the state Department of Environmental Quality, which is led by former Donald Trump administration official Aurelia Giacometto, appointed by Gov. Jeff Landry. The survey comes two months after several high-level DEQ employees left the agency after clashing with Giacometto during her first few weeks in office.”

For employees of both departments

When I see rank and file govt workers bitch and complain, typically it’s because they got used to doing nothing, and now they’re expected to work while they’re just trying to cruise to that pension. This is how you flush out the fat in govt.

If there were ever an audit done on payroll it would most likely bring up interesting questions. Remember overpaying any of these workers is also overpaying their pension at retirement.

You are right though, asking the rank and file to do anything beyond their current job duties will be met with resistance while on cruise control. There are no workers more unmotivated and lazy.

I see that OP got the agencies mixed up. I think the LDWF secretary is doing what she has likely been instructed to do and keeping her head down until she can get a fed appointment.

Giacometta has zero need to pad her resume.

Why is he hiring children from out of state to do Louisiana jobs? Do we not have people who can do these jobs?

I think there was an article recently alluding that Landry hired Sheahan as a personal favor to Kristi Noem.

quote:

---

Noem is a close personal friend of Landry’s. She has been among the participants in his annual alligator hunt fundraiser, an event that has also drawn Donald Trump Jr. and other national conservative figures.

Landry and Noem share other political connections as well. 

Landry spent thousands to receive political advice from Corey Lewandowski for his governor’s campaign. Lewandowski and Noem are close and reportedly had an affair, although a spokesperson for Noem has denied the allegations. 

Landry’s secretary for the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Madison Sheahan, also worked “directly and indirectly” for Noem and was executive director of the Republican Party in South Dakota.

Given what bullshite the LDWF has pulled in the last few years, I’m gonna side with the new director for now.

You sure about that??

I'm so confused by this thread.
