The Hill reports that EPA staffing has fallen to Reagan-era levels.

According to The Hill: “An EPA spokeswoman said Tuesday that, as of Jan. 3, the agency had 14,162 employees, down from about 15,000 at the beginning of last year. That’s even lower than the 14,400 employees the agency had in fiscal year 1988, Reagan’s final year.” Most of the reductions have come from employees voluntarily leaving without being replaced, including through early retirements and buyouts.
