How do EPA scientists in general feel about Carol Browner?
Lewis: I can’t speak for all our scientists. I can tell you how I feel, and I do hear these opinions echoed by scientists across the agency. I don’t think there’s much room for argument that EPA science was severely damaged when Browner drove the mission versus management pendulum completely to the management side. We haven’t recovered from this, and can’t recover from it until Browner herself readdresses these issues. We also can’t just forget that our scientists and frontline managers were brutalized without mercy by EPA’s Office of Inspector General. I wasn’t the only scientist who sent word to Browner that innocent employees were being victimized. She wouldn’t even acknowledge our concerns. Federal Administrative Law Judges have since ruled that the employees were innocent and investigations were carried out in bad faith, but still no comment from Browner. Washington EPA officials have violated federal laws in order to take actions against employees for purely political reasons. In
