Yellowstone National Park Superintendent: 'I'm No Longer Wanted'

[turbinetree]

The superintendent of Yellowstone National Park says he's being forced out of his job. Daniel Wenk was informed on Tuesday that the National Park Service will replace him this August.

"I'm feeling like I devoted 43 years of my life, I think I have a record of achievement with the National Park Service that at the end of the day doesn't matter and that I'm no longer wanted at Yellowstone National Park," Wenk told Yellowstone Public Radio.

Wenk recently announced he would retire from running the park in March 2019 instead of accepting a new assignment in Washington, D.C. But then this week, he said National Park Service Acting Director P. Daniel Smith gave him an ultimatum: take the new position in D.C. or retire early.

"Even though I told them I was going to retire that seemed to not make a difference, so extremely disappointed is probably a mild way to explain it," Wenk said.

In fact, Wenk said he feels abused.

1. God damn

43 years like it was nothing.
The FBI Mccabe as well, wn hours of his retirement. So many morning roll-outs and late nights I'm sure, for both jobs. Written off as inconsequential.
But, poor Americans are supposed to know the "meaning of work" and get some, and be lectured to on top of it, for healthcare. Damn these people.
And dt can't get out of bed on time for a globally attended breakfast. BAH!

3. Reason #1537 on why elections are important and the consequences must always be considered.

Thank you for your service, Mr. Wenk, and all the best to you wherever you decide to go from here.

5. Investigation launched after head of US National Park Service 'grabbed his genitalia and pretended..

to urinate on wall'

The interior department’s internal watchdog agency has opened an investigation into P Daniel Smith, currently the top-ranking official at the National Park Service, for allegedly making a gesture involving his genitalia in the hallways of the department’s headquarters earlier this year.

That's the P. Daniel Smith person who gave the ultimatum.
