Interior Secretary David Bernhardt's plan to ship hundreds of jobs out of Bureau of Land Management headquarters in Washington hit a snag on Wednesday, when BLM missed its own deadline to tell employees and state directors which jobs were moving.
One BLM employee told The Hill that “The state directors were never notified in regards to the BLM staff relocating to their offices. They never contacted any of the state directors to tell them this was happening here in the Washington office.” Another BLM source told E&E News that the delay was also related to specific positions that had been slated for relocation, including congressional affairs staffers who were to be sent, inexplicably, to Reno, Nevada.
Just last week, Acting BLM Director William Perry Pendley told Congress that the agency would finalize its decisions by September 17th and notify workers "promptly."

Seldom are there projects that have such a pull on the heart strings and an impact on a broader community than Sweetwater Lake Resort. We are interested in promoting conservation of important cultural and natural resources as more and more development pressure impacts our mountain communities. Sweetwater Lake has so many attributes that define Colorado for what it is, from horse packing trips to canoeing to stunning scenery and vital habitat with the backdrop of the Flat Tops Wilderness.”
