“The findings in the Department of Energy Inspector
General’s report are deeply troubling to all of us at the Bonneville Power Administration. The Department and BPA are fully committed to
addressing the problems with our human capital management program and providing
recourse to the many individuals, including veterans, who were impacted by our
flawed hiring practices. I also want to
reiterate my commitment to a workplace free of retaliation, particularly
against those who raise concerns. As we move forward to rebuild our human
resource capabilities, all of us at BPA will continue to serve our core mission
by bringing reliable, low-cost, and environmentally sustainable power and
transmission service to the people of the Pacific Northwest."
Elliot Mainzer, Acting Administrator
Bonneville Power Administration
