Move over, IRS — now the EPA is having its own problems with missing emails.
The environmental agency is having trouble locating emails belonging to a former agency employee and pulling information from his crashed hard drive, House members revealed Wednesday while questioning Administrator Gina McCarthy at a hearing on complaints of mismanagement.
“What is it with bureaucrats and public employees … the hard drives crash?” asked Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R-Mich.).
He and others on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee questioned McCarthy about missing information related to the committee’s investigation into the potential environmental impact of a proposed gold and copper mine in the Bristol Bay watershed in Alaska.

The backup companies are grossly overrated.Notice from this point forward (if you haven't already)that technology is all that until it's actually needed.Almost like a car warranty.I have no doubt that the systems in place to safeguard the emails in question failed.
ReplyDelete829, you're living in a dream world. When the IRS hits you with an audit, erase your emails and shred your hard drive. They will show up on your doorstep with all your emails and banking records on their own computer, and you will just be guilty of yet another crime.
ReplyDeleteMark these words.
400 million population just in the US by the end of this decade and shrinking agencies don't equate to the likelihood of getting audited.State,Local ,and Federal agencies never increased with the population,so failures should not surprise anyone.
ReplyDeleteFailures of hard drives are not hard to believe, what is hard to believe is there are no backup drives. That is unheard of in any medium size business and especially any government agency. What is going on is absolute corruption from a government with absolute power.
