Trump’s Interior Department Secretary, Montana rancher and former Navy Seal Ryan Zinke, is proving to be more than just a dramatic contrast to Obama’s Interior chief, liberal Democrat recreation industry exec., Sally Jewell. Zinke’s getting to work unraveling her legacy–and that of previous progressive predecessors–in short order. Beyond the Obama monument land grabs, which are currently under review as ordered by President Trump, with significant reductions and reversals in the works, Zinke is breaking up the bureaucratic status quo in his department’s upper echelons. On June 16, Greenwire reported:
Dozens of Senior Executive Service employees — career officials within the federal government — received letters yesterday informing them that they may be reassigned as early as June 28, the newspaper said.
“Personnel moves are being conducted to better serve the taxpayer and the Department’s operations through matching Senior Executive skill sets with mission and operational requirements,” said Interior spokeswoman Heather Swift in an email. She noted that Zinke mentioned the “Department-wide, front lines-focused reorganization on his first day address to all employees.”
It is not unusual for new cabinet members, who wield considerable power in reworking their respective departments, to shake things up, but Zinke is using his clout to shift manpower and influence out of Washington D.C. beltway bureaucracy into the ‘field,’ or those areas where federal policies have real-world consequences for states and localities.

federal government needs to shrink by 45% to save SS & Medicare.
45%
Just start by firing every Obama appointee. Rebuild from there.
Watch out for pensions and benefits!
“career officials within the federal government — received letters yesterday informing them that they may be reassigned as early as June 28, the newspaper said. “
For Christ’s sake just fire ‘em.
Evidently you’ve never heard of civil service regulations....
I love him. Get out in the field.
What I read here is a rearranging of the bureaucrats at the top.
I see no firings, removals or changes in policy which is what a lot of folks out West and some of us beyond would like to see.
Zimke is reassigning, not firing people.
Transfer known liberals who will fight back on the changes to tiny hell holes in the far north (where it gets blistering cold 6 months out of the year). Just an idea... =:-)
He seems to be the one Trump appointee who is taking our advice and transferring people out of their ivory towers. Hopefully many will resign or retire rather than move.
God bless him.
Exactly! It really is that simple. Now if they’d just do it.
It is almost impossible to fire a bureaucrat, you just have to make them so miserable that they quit on their own.
This approach needs to happen in every every agency.
“Evidently you’ve never heard of civil service regulations....”
Suspend them due to National Security.
Ok. Would you share the national security justification with us?
Hahaha. WINNING!
Hopefully a bunch of the bastards will quit rather than move near the VAST federal landholdings in the western deserts.
From DC to Parumpf? The ‘ol lady won’t stand for it!
“Ok. Would you share the national security justification with us?”
I just made it up.
