This is in response to this OP
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=2012625&mesg_id=2012625In the BLM office in Bakersfield there was the idea by Bush appointees of letting open grazing and oil exploration to take place in a national monument.
I had 20 acres near there at the time this happened.
The woman who tried to protect the land and it's creatures committed suicide because she was bullied by her boss who was there to implement the conservative anti environment plan.
There is a lot to read here but basically the Bush appointee Ron Huntsinger bullied Marlene Braun for wanting to protect the national monument from conservatives.
It is a tale of an abusive work environment (akin to the traditional profile of bullying cases described at this website) that Marlene described as her inescapable hell caused by her tormenter, bully boss Ron Huntsinger, coupled with dramatic reversals in conservation policies by the federal government executed by Huntsinger and BLM as mandated by the anti-Clinton, anti-environment Bush administration. Huntsinger was promoted in the aftermath of her suicide in the spirit of "heckuva job brownie" incompetence rising.

BLM SUICIDE UNDERSCORES BUREAUCRATIC INHUMANITY — Inspector General Reports and Workplace Survey
Show Imploding Interior Morale
Washington, DC — Bureaucratic indifference and official callousness contributed to a suicide by a Bureau of Land Management national monument manager, according to an internal investigation report released today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). At the same time, workplace surveys show deepening distrust and plummeting morale within the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and other agencies within the Interior Department.
