Get out of our government

Didn’t Mulvaney straight up admitted this move was to make people quit their jobs?

It's so the GOP can allow companies to polute air , water and take public habitat land .

this administration's plan for departments it doesn't like: get rid of existing staff, make them unreachable, and starve them to death.

Next, we should move the USDA to Tulsa or Topeka.

'For Pendley the move is part of a broader push by the controversial president to decentralize the federal government.'

The only reason it’s GJ is because they love him there. It’s possibly the most conservative place in Colorado.

great ! get it out of the swamp !

Here's an idea: move the entire national capital to a more central location such as Kansas City or Denver.

Lots of companies and agencies relocate. The ones that don't want to go can just transfer to another government position, work remotely if possible or find another job

In the 1980s didn't Ronald Reagan move offices to Washington?

The Bureau of Land Management has a FAQ about the move to Grand Junction, CO. Answers about selection of the location, number of people relocating and benefits of the move are answered.

The Piceance Basin is North of there, not East.

He just wants to fracture the bureau so his buddies the mining companies can exploit the land more and the bureau can't make their case to lawmakers as easily. If this wasn't the case why not move all the agencies to the middle of the country so they are closer to everything?

The dude obviously just wants to move somewhere a bola tie is considered business attire

In GJ there IS a dearth of pot shops. In fact there are none. In the valley there are two; both in Palisade.

jerk move

lol

We need to move much more of the government out of DC

Why not how much BLM land is on the east coast.

If it helps prevent ranchers w guns taking terroristic stances, good. Next time they should be charged w terrorism.

Makes sense.

Totally off-topic, but Grand Junction is absolutely gorgeous.

NPR Choice pageSame is true of the millions of Indians who fought for the British in WWII. White people wrote the books. They can't see color. It's a pity, really. I feel sorry for them. Thank God we live in a world where we’re starting to care less about the color of the skin. Well done for portraying this heroes just as they were. Sounds like a slam dunk in the face of the historians.
