On Environment: You can't drain the swamp and leave all the people in it

In March 2017, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing agencies to prepare for a reorganization of the entire federal government. Soon after, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney outlined a proposal to reduce the size of the federal workforce, stating, "You can't drain the swamp and leave all the people in it."

For example, in June 2017, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke initiated a temporary hiring freeze for most National Park Service personnel that prevented numerous parks from filling key positions. Zinke said at that time that he planned to cut his workforce by 4,000 employees, roughly 8% of Interior's full-time staff.

In May, at a time when park staff were already stretched thin, Zinke ordered law enforcement staff from national parks across the country to two parks on the US-Mexico border. Zinke has not provided justification for an increase in law enforcement staff at the border at a time of historically low border crossing apprehensions.
