Department of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced that he has fired four federal employees in an effort to eradicate what he calls “a cancer” at the agency.


quote:

Zinke was referring to an apparent culture of harassment and intimidation at Interior that have been a “common practice”, as Zinke put it, something which he said must change.

“I’ve already removed four senior leaders that were guilty of inappropriate behavior, and I will remove 400 more if necessary,” said Zinke.

He went on to say that intimidation, harassment and discrimination are “a cancer” to any organization, and he said that “however deep it goes, we will remove it from Interior.”

How can people on both sides not be happy about this. Getting rid of the dead weight and scum regardless of affiliation is a good thing. Drain that fricking swamp.

Gota remember, those Bureaucrats are liberal Democrats and give $20 every paycheck to the Democrat campaign fund for pro-Union, Liberal candidates. And they are overpaid and do nothing. They used to go home at noon on Friday for almost a 3 day weekend every week. There are several thousand like them. I know.

Would depend by agency/department really,

USFWS In my region I would say about 90% lib/10% conservative. Same for EPA, NMFS/NOAA, DOI.

The law enforcement parts of those agencies would be 90% conservative, 10% liberal.

DOi has many bureaus..... BLM, OSM, MMS (now BSEE and BOEM), Reclamation.... Many people within these agencies would not be considered "liberal".

In any case, there is no indication n of who was fired and this a-hole is jumping up and down with glee because they were "liberal". Sad......

Also those are agencies that are more connected to economic sphere than USFWS, BIA, NPS, Forest Service.

It probably regional differences with 90/10 liberal split in Alaska, West Coast, and Northeast...probably mid-Atlantic too.

I'd imagine to that if you surveyed Federal employees for political ideology it would be 75%/25% liberal split.
