TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2002 Thanks to a settlement brokered through the Office of Special Counsel, an independent federal agency that works on government whistleblower cases, a National Park Service ranger is now allowed to speak freely about his job and his concerns as a ranger in Yellowstone National Park. Bob Jackson had been gagged by the Department of Interior after he criticized hunting near the park. He was not allowed to represent himself as a representative of the department if he talked to the media. He was then told to leave his position earlier than usual and given poor performance evaluations. The Office of Special Counsel has been referred the case of Mona Infield, a Bureau of Indian Affairs employee who was sent home after criticizing the state of trust reform. Settlements offered by the Interior have been rejected on her behalf. Get the Story:
