She could move to Florida: =============================== SCOTT’S CLIMATE CHANGE GAG ORDER CLAIMS A VICTIM DEP Employee Reprimanded, Suspended and Ordered to Get Mental Exam Posted on Mar 18, 2015 PEER Washington, DC — A Florida state employee is in hot water for speaking about climate change at an official meeting and keeping notes of that discussion in official minutes, according to a complaint filed today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). In response, his superiors at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) issued him a letter of reprimand, ordered him to take two days leave and then told him not to return until he had medical clearance of his fitness for duty. Barton Bibler is a long-time DEP employee who now serves as Land Management Plan Coordinator in its Division of State Lands. He attended a Florida Coastal Managers Forum on February 27, 2015 at which climate change and sea-level rise were discussed among a mix of public attendees. Mr. Bibler’s official notes on this meeting reflected all of that discussion. He was directed to remove any hot button issues, especially explicit references to climate change, and then was given a letter of reprimand for supposedly misrepresenting that the “official meeting agenda included climate change.” As he was given the reprimand on March 9th, Mr. Bibler was told to not return to work for two days which would be charged against his personal leave time. Two days later he received a “Medical Release Form” requiring that his doctor supply the DEP with an evaluation of unspecified “medical condition and behavior” issues before being allowed to return to work.

rushmc 23 #63 March 20, 2015 This is all I was looking for Bill sheesh Now, if true? I agree with but, it still seems as there may be more to come out QuoteIt was about the words “climate change,” he said. Not the science. Not what Florida’s doing about it. Just the words. He had put them into a report. Then refused to take them out when he was told to. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/03/20/fla-official-says-he-was-punished-for-using-climate-change-in-report/ So far we have ONE side of the story But as I said, if it is true he got into trouble for mearly using the words?

SkyDekker 1,465 #75 March 23, 2015 QuoteYou must like the thought police? Ironic considering you defend laws and regulations that specifically forbid people to even mention certain things. Whether it relates to Climate change or doctors asking about guns. All this speak is forbidden, because of what the thought behind it might be. But then you attack me saying I must like the thought police. You really have absolutely no clue do you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
