Zinke Pushes Majority Of National Park Service Advisory Panel To Resign

[Kalkin]

Advisors may be eligible to receive reimbursement at the approved government per diem as you noted but they are not paid. Those are two different distinctions. Some are brought in under the designation SGE in order to put them in the system during their tenure.

More importantly these men and women volunteered to be on this board. The very least Mr. Zinke could have done was thank them for their service and sent them on their way. Imo, he seems to lack character.

Fair enough. I see no reason to thank them for their voluntary resignation.

I'm sorry you feel that way but you're entitled to your position. I admit I don't understand it but there are many things I don't understand.

As I see it, their mass voluntary resignation was coordinated to make a negative political statement towards the Trump administration. Fukem.

Okay, so how do you view Mr. Zinke's actions in this situation? Ignoring multiple requests to meet or speak via telephone?

Look at it from a personal perspective. would you view yourself as the one in the wrong and your boss in the right for refusing to work with you?

Let's pick this up tomorrow. I'm tired. Hahaha.

That's his prerogative. I'm quite certain they only wanted to $#@! about Trump's agenda. Get with the program or get off the bus, I say.

He's not their boss. They are unpaid advisers whose agenda is at odds with the administration. They are neither needed nor wanted at this point.

Let's pick this up tomorrow. I'm tired. Hahaha.

Okay. Sleep well!

The Constitution does speak to this: See the 9th and 10th Amendments.

The federal government is suppose to have limited and enumerated powers. Everything else is left to the States and to the people.

Yet, the people who wrote it thought differently. I'm no expert but they sure were.

And the people want the feds to own them. I have never heard anyone outside of here and the Cliven Bundy's of the world say anything different. The freeloaders of the right are no better than the freeloaders of the left.

The Founding Fathers certainly believed the federal government owned the land. They set up the Northwest territory. They didn't turn the land over when they accepted states from there.

The Feds violate the Constitution with impunity.

You are wrong. You should already know you are wrong.

You're right and the writers of the Constitution were wrong.

What today's government does is one thing. What the writer's of it did is another.

Can you cite to any reputable source to support this?

I think you are 100% wrong.

They weren't wrong. They gave a gift to the world. Too bad the world, and apparently some citizens, reject it.
