400 Employees Leave the EPA in a Few Days

The EPA, the government's official eco-terrorist agency, is shrinking.

Nearly 400 workers have left the Environmental Protection Agency in recent days, the agency said Tuesday, a wave of departures that soon could take the agency’s staffing to its lowest point in almost 30 years.

The voluntary buyouts were offered in June to more than 1,200 workers. Almost a third of those eligible took the buyout and, coupled with a dozen retirements on Aug. 31, the agency trimmed its staff by about 2.5% in less than a week. Several dozen more workers could retire or opt to take the buyout later this month, which would cut EPA’s total number of employees to almost 14,400 workers, the lowest since 1988. Two years ago it had more than 15,500 employees nationwide.

1988 was certainly a better time.

Some of the agency’s critics among employee groups and lawmakers on Capitol Hill are skeptical of the agency’s ability to meet its regulatory responsibilities as it shrinks, while others question whether buyouts are an effective use of tax money.

A properly effective use of tax money would be to drive much of the EPA to a swarmp, I'm sorry, natural wetlands, and leave them as far from civilization as possible.

But we have to make the best of it.

The EPA should be abolished. But since that's not currently likely to happen, shrinking it at least limits some of the leftist footprint in government.
