from The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton

Federal News Network has been reporting on the fallout from EPA’s decision to discipline employees who signed a declaration of dissent.

It highlights a familiar tension across government: what happens to career expertise when agency leaders choose another path. Here to discuss his reporting on this issue is Kevin Bogardus from E&E News.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
