How many of those who left were focused on the EPA's mission?

How many paid attention to the parts about significant risk, and enforced fairly,, and economic growth, and businesses, and accurate information?

How many thought best available scientific information meant the info supporting their personal political/social agenda?

I'd bet most of those who left did so because they were expected to work toward their mission, rather than use the power of the EPA for a personal agenda which often differed with the mission.

Now, how do we get corrupt all the corrupt criminals to leave the FBI and injustice dept?

The majority of the employees will not be replaced.

LOL!

So these were some of the 'non-essential personnel' that we always hear about during a snow storm who are not to come in to work.

Best Christmas present ever.

Even though this is the 4th or 5th time this has been announced in various media outlets over the last two months, it still makes me smile.

Talk about progress.

“The cuts also appear to be apart of a trend that began during the Obama administration, when budget restraints put a squeeze on the agency. ”

You dont say....

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has lost over 700 employees...

Lost?

Typical of a bloated bureaucracy full of incompetent noworkies.

Were they misplaced? Part of payoff to foreign dictatorships?

I prefer "shoved out" or "forced to resign or be fired" for being totally useless.

I think Free Republic needs a new posting category. We have “Breaking News” and “Front Page News”. How about “Good News”?

Get rid of the leeches that watch porn all day and then retire with a kings ransom.

Eggsactly. A friends son went to work for the IRS in DC. His job was to audit IRS field offices around the country. He said that in his home office, and field offices, he would often find people asleep at their desks.
