Park Service managers now must be screened for Bush loyalty

 

The National Park Service is made up of civil service employees, and

though they will continue to be called civil service employees, things

have changed. Today, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility

issued a directive which requires all mid-level and above managers to

be approved by a Bush administration political appointee.

 

Managers must be screened by Park Service headquarters and by the

Assistant Secretary for Fish, and Wildlife, and Parks. They must be

willing to lead their employees in Bush's Management Agenda, which

includes outsourcing to replace civil servants, the use of faith-based

initiatives, and rollbacks of civil service rights.

 

They must also be able to lead employees in Interior Secretary Gale

Norton's 4 C's: " communication, consultation, cooperation, all in the

name of conservation. " Presumably, they will provide milk and cookies

at 3 p.m. every afternoon.
