Most Land Management Staff Quit After Trump Order

January 28, 2021 · 3:31 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“The Trump administration’s decision to relocate most of the Bureau of Land Management from Washington to Colorado — a move designed to shift power away from the nation’s capital — resulted in an exodus by 2020 of more than 87 percent of the affected employees, who either quit or resigned rather than move,” the Washington Post reports.

“The exit of longtime career staffers from the agency responsible for managing more than 10 percent of the nation’s land shows the extent to which the Trump administration reshaped the federal government.”
