Hundreds of EPA Employees Have Quit Under Trump
After months of crying at their desks, bureaucrats now ‘quitting in disgust’Over 700 employees at the Environmental Protection Agency have quit or taken early retirement during the Trump administration so far, bringing the agency close to employment levels not seen since Reagan…Career bureaucrats taking voluntary buyouts is helping Pruitt and the Trump administration meet their goal of cutting the EPA workforce by 25 percent.
“We’re proud to report that we’re reducing the size of government, protecting taxpayer dollars, and staying true to our core mission of protecting the environment and American jobs,” Pruitt has said.
With over 15,000 employees, its a good start. But just a start. I do have a question, however – if DC gets another 1/2″ “blizzard”, how many of them that are left would be considered “non-essential”? Yes, I consider this one of the out-of-control-by-its-own-administrative-rules-process agencies that need to have a bit put into its mouth and staked to the ground to stop its mission creep.
