It is always sad when an employee of a government agency has to sacrifice their job to wake up the agency to an environmental issue. In this case an employee of the US Army Corps of Engineers went kayaking in the Los Angeles River to protest weaker clean water protections for the river.

The response of the corps was to suspend the employee. The Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility stepped up to assist the employee. A settlement was reached where the employee is going to resign……to go to law school to become an environmental attorney.

Don’t you hope she gets to nail the corps to the wall a couple of times in her career!
