Cory Garner told The New York Times:
“The problem with Washington is too many policymakers are far removed from the people they are there to serve. Ninety-nine percent of the land the B.L.M. manages is west of the Mississippi River, and so should be the B.L.M. headquarters.”
However, News 9 is reporting that a spokeswoman who did not want to be identified said she couldn't confirm or deny the move. The agency manages 388,000 square miles of land and has about nine thousand employees.
