AP reports that the Energy Department is thinking about getting rid of its Office of Environment, Safety and Health, which sets health and safety rules for the 130,000 employees of the department and its contractors. The plan, which would involve distributing health and safety oversight operations to other DOE offices, has already drawn the ire of congressional Democrats.

 

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
