Worst of all, the honorable Senator Voinovich turned his back on federal workers by allowing the Department of Labor to corrupt the federal workers compensation program. For years, his office has been inundated with complaints from hundreds of injured federal workers who were denied their due process of law and who's claims were deliberately delayed for years by the federal OWCP. The phony medical examinations, wild goose chases across the state to obscure and unqualified medical practitioners, incomplete medical reports and denials without minimal evidence are all in a days work for DOL-OWCP.
The Senator's office received so many complaints from injured federal workers, he assigned a front man to intercept them. The injured and suffering were bothering him too much.
HI Eric. Are you still playing that game with the injured workers? Sending letters to DOL-OWCP that they don't answer and another and another and maybe getting a response that doesn't even address the allegations of illegal denials. Here's a joke: How do you keep an injured federal employee in suspense? Answer: You send them to ERIC.
The honorable Senator hides from confrontation and duty. Do you think he will confront the gargantuan mess in DOD? Don't hold your breath.

Congratulations Senator on a well deserved award.
No- you are not naive, you are just going about it the wrong way.
To change the culture you need to uproot the entrenched interested- mostly in the SES group that as it says in the show survivor- outplays and outlasts the politicals.
The SES was designed to be a group of professional managers who could and should move around every few years into various Departments and manage people and programs in that order.
It has become a group of super-techies who rarely manage people well, and who would be lost if transferred to other programs-- this is the entrenched interest which if forced to move every few years, like is done in the military and the foreign service, would absolutely change the culture of the federal civil service. Anyone who sits in the same job for twenty or thirty years must become territorial by nature-- and if they are at SESer-- it stagnates the organization.
Senator, you want to make a change-- start with the SES.
