“Did you ever wonder what BLM employees thought about the comments you make on the local level concerning resource management plans, allotment management plans, draft EISs, etc.? Then just look up the synonyms of parochial, and there you will finds words like: narrow-minded, limited, close-minded, petty, blinkered and myopic. Now you know how they view your comments, thanks to this insight from an organization of six hundred retired BLM employees.”
The money paragraph
Hey, if you are having trouble filling those top level jobs because they dont want to move to Grand Junction, call me. I would be pretty happy in Grand Junction.
My top agency moves, however, would be: (1) HUD to Detroit; and EPA to Houston, Texas, where the agency would be housed in non-airconditioned offices and where EPA employees could actually meet some of the people whose jobs they are trying to destroy.
I think that moving federal agencies out of DC and closer to the areas they impact is brilliant. DC is a bubble that insulates politicians from the people and the realities of routine life; thus, bureaucrats make decisions that are divorced from reality. Placing the agencies in the areas most affected puts everyday realities in the faces of the bureaucrats, who can no longer force uninformed opinions on people without seeing first hand the damage those opinions inflict.
