Make Sure Marion Sees This

The Partnership for Public Service puts out a report every two years called The Best Places to Work. It ranks government agencies and the rest is self-explanatory.

You know what’s coming don’t you ?

Department of Transportation: 30th out of 30. Dead last.

Federal Aviation Administration: 214th out of 216.

God help the National Drug Intelligence Center (215th) and the Office of Postsecondary Education (216th). Let me know when your life depends on how well they do their jobs.

You can play with the data all day if you so desire. The Federal Highway Administration (part of the DOT) was ranked 33rd out of 216. So, being in the DOT doesn’t mean you have to be a disaster. But speaking of disasters, perhaps it might be enlightening to notice that our friends at FEMA are at 210th -- four slots above the FAA.

“Heck of a job”... Marion.
