The Trump administration reportedly notified hundreds of Interior Department employees Tuesday that they will have 30 days to relocate to western states or face the potential of job terminations.The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is relocating 27 employees from Washington, D.C., to the agency’s new headquarters in Colorado and another 220 to field offices out West, Government Executive (GE) reported Tuesday. The relocated employees reportedly have until Dec. 12 to agree to the move; if they don’t accept the terms, then they’ll be fired.
More winning please! Waiting for the lawsuits in 3,2,1...

I would have just fired them all and shut down all the offices in the country. Then, I'd reduce every government agency (including the IRS and excluding the military because it has constitutional authority to exist) by 97 percent and put all of them on notice that after a review, each one faces the possibility of being shut down. It's one reason why I could never be President, I guess.

It might be possible to take the bureaucrats our of DC, but can you take the DC out of the bureaucrats? Probably not if they are being sent to Colorado.

Should only be a matter of hours before an Obama appointed federal judge blocks all of these transfers. Judge will issue 65 page opinion, most likely already written, stating that such forced transfers are “cruel and unusual steps meant to harm dedicated civil servants” or similar nonsense. Ruling will mean a 12 to 24 per month appeals process, with a decision upholding transfers dependent upon the indecisive Chief Justice Roberts. Supremes will probably rule that while Administration has legal right to open regional offices it must give impacted employees time to transfer to other DC positions. Which means that the number of bureaucrats will grow, not shrink.

The Partisan corruption goes down several levels and needs to be eliminated. Employees need to follow orders and do the work the current Administration directs them to do. It could take a while to accomplish this, but it is essential to clean out the deep penetration in Government Agencies. They are employees...not elected officials.

We had to decide when my husband's company consolidated and moved 2000 miles away. Move or quit. I'm sure a lot of other people were in the same boat or worse when their workplace folded or left for overseas. Jobs are back now thanks to PDJT so start looking. Govt employees should be no different from anyone else but they thought they had a safe, cushy job however, will not get sympathy from anyone outside of the government sector.

If It's true that most agencies in D.C. are paring down their employees, I don't think there should be ANY jobs available to those poor employees (who don't want to transfer to CO) to move to! It's this job or nothing. In the real world, that is how it works. We were moved many times by the company. You were told "that's where your paycheck will be"! That was the choice and we always took the move!! Time for Washington to get with the real world!

OK, now move the NSC Deep Staters down to Tuscaloosa, where the locals can control them under house arrest

PERFECT!
Now, let's slowly dismantle and disperse to the countryside ALL of the Cabinet Departments. And no fair bunching up.
Half of the Dept of Labor in New Mexico, half in North Dakota. I think ALL of the Dept of Education should be in Huron, South Dakota.
This can be a REAL breakthrough for the US bureaucracies.

Oh, and I forgot. In the interests of improved productivity, for every 10 employees in the Department in the DC area, the "heartland" version will have 3 employees, or maybe 2.

I'm hooked on watching episodes of Gunsmoke, shown on the Insp channel.
Last night, in a 1957 episode, a bureaucrat from Washington was sent to Dodge to correct the law enforcement trchniques of Marshall Dillon.
The bureaucrat forced Matt to confiscate all pistols. Dillon objected, but followed orders. The confiscation caused a shooting death. The bureaucrat saw the light, apologized, and went back to Washington.
But that was fiction. Bureaucrats never apologize.
How does that connect to this story? I'm not sure, but maybe if Land Management people are close to the land being managed, they will be more effective, and rational.

#13, we have been watching the old Gunsmoke episodes, too. Great stuff but pretty dark plot lines in many of them. Good shows. I remember watching, remember the characters, although not so much with Chester, I was fairly young then, but we enjoy the old shows very much.
Haven't seen that episode, yet.

If half of them quit, it would not be noticed. How many are double dipping or past their expiration date ?
Someone told me they had a friend who was excited to be asked to work in Washington. When they saw the waste and people who do nothing everyday they quit.
