Burgum Leads Interior Department Restructuring, Centralizing Support Services
Former North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum is leading a major restructuring of the U.S. Interior Department — a move that will centralize services like IT, HR, finance, and communications, pulling them out of agencies like the National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management. The plan is expected to eliminate up to 50% of support staff in some areas, with regional offices and field stations feeling the effects. Burgum says the changes aim to cut costs and increase efficiency, though critics warn they could weaken public services and drain agency-level expertise. Eric Katz with Government Executive has the full story.
