Senator Burns & Corruption in Interior/BLM
By gferren, Unfiltered 11-02-06
I contacted Senator Conrad Burns starting back in 1999
and have continually provided insider information
since on corruption within the Department of the
Interior's Bureau of Land Management organization in
Montana...such as prohibited personnel practices,
pre-selection for job positions, selection of
non-qualified applicants for job positions, rewards of
temp appointments to circumvent competition
requirements for positions, diversions of
congressionally mandated program funds, flawed EIS
plans for oil & gas projects, ethics violations,
discriminatory practices in hiring (race & gender),
and a personnel practice of age discrimination against
older (over 40 male) employees with the use of the
"directed reassignment".
Senator Burns only effort in this matter was to ask an
outgoing (democrat appointed) Sec of the Interior what
he would do to fix the problems in Montana (Babbitt),
circa 2001.
The problems continued and Burns never asked Interior
Sec. Gale Norton (republican appointed) to cleanup
Interior/BLM and Montana's Bureau of Land Management
office.

Court directly related to this subject, and the web

corruption and mismanagement:

did you read it anywhere else or see it in the news?
None of these so called "news" sources ever attempted to contact me or to confirm anything I've said and I don't believe any of them made this info available to the public.
My Thanks to NewWest for allowing an avenue for Democracy and free speech.
Corruption is a tree...in this case from the leaves down to the roots... and corruption cannot exist unless a blind eye is turned by those who have the power to end the illegal actions, misdeeds, and policies that allow the abuses of position and authority.
