The Department of Veterans Affairs lias begun publishing a periodic list of adverse personnel actions-employees being fired, demoted or suspended-as part of a commitment to government transparency. As VA Secretary Shulkin described it, "Veterans and taxpayers have a right to know what we're doing to hold our employees accountable and make our personnel actions transparent." Does EPA plan on following suit, and if not, why not? For the VA's list, see "Adverse Actions Report" here: https://va.gov/accountabilitv/ Our deadline is 3pm Tuesday, as we are planning on publishing an article on which agencies are or are not adopting these federal workforce transparency measures for Wednesday morning.
