THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO HOLD MORE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ACCOUNTABLE FOR MISCONDUCT
10:28 AM 09/03/2018
Rep. Louie Gohmert | Congressman, Texas 1st District
When Hurricane Harvey crashed onto Texas shores, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) worked tirelessly to come to our citizens' aid. Unfortunately, in the months since then, information has been released regarding a top FEMA official who abused his position to harass co-workers and create inappropriate environments.
According to numerous reports, FEMA personnel chief, Corey Coleman, fostered a culture of widespread sexual harassment during his time with the agency. This case makes clear that while a majority of civil servants are working tirelessly for the American people, a few bad actors can corrupt an entire agency.
In our current system, the process for removing these bad actors is nearly impossible.
According to data obtained by FedScope, only 0.5 percent of federal employees have been fired in recent years for poor performance or misconduct. Meanwhile, a 2015 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report revealed that once a decision is made to fire a federal employee, removing them from office can take between six months to a year, if not longer.
Thanks to this legislation and no thanks to federal courts, our veterans have a better chance of receiving the support and medical care they deserve.
Unfortunately, these rules only apply to the VA. The rest of the federal government remains shockingly impervious to accountability.
Alarmingly, recent efforts by the Trump administration to hold the federal government more accountable have been struck down by activist judges. A federal district judge recently invalidated most of the provisions of three executive orders President Trump issued to make it easier to fire federal employees.
Abuse exists in all areas of government and we cannot ignore it unless it affects our veterans. This is no way to run a government.
Some federal employees may be concerned, but hard-working employees should take heart that if we can get this passed, supervisors who abuse other federal employees can be removed and the abused federal employees can have a decent workplace free of protected dictators. Some employees have related how miserable their federal employment was because of a horrendous boss that federal law protected from being fired.
This law will change that.

Ex-FEMA personnel chief accused of harassment, hiring women as potential sex partners for male workers
Published: July 30, 2018 6:09 p.m. ET
A top official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency - who quit last month - is being investigated over accusations that he was responsible for widespread sexual harassment in which attractive women were hired as possible sex partners for men he hired, including pals from college.
The alleged harassment and other misconduct, revealed through a preliminary seven-month internal probe, was a "systemic problem going on for years," said FEMA Administrator Brock Long, the Washington Post reported. Some of the behavior could be criminal, he added.
Some claims about the agency's former personnel chief were detailed in a written executive summary of the probe obtained by the paper.
FEMA officials confirmed that Corey Coleman, who led the personnel department from 2011 until quitting in June, was the target of the allegations.
Coleman - who was paid $177,150 annually - resigned June 18, before a scheduled interview with investigators and FEMA officials said they haven't been able to grill him since.
Long described a "toxic" environment in the human resources department Coleman led at FEMA headquarters, hiring dozens of pals who were friends and college fraternity brothers and women he met at bars and on online dating sites.
He would then promote them to jobs throughout the agency without going through required federal hiring channels.
Coleman then transferred some of the women in and out of departments and to regional offices so his buddies could hit on them.
"What we uncovered was a systemic problem going back years," Long said, adding that he had referred some of the cases to the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general, who oversees FEMA, to investigate possible criminal sexual assault.
"The biggest problem I may solve here may be the eradication of this cancer," Long said.
"How many complaints were not heard? I've got to make sure we have a safe working environment for our employees."
Long said the problems extend beyond Coleman. The investigation is "not going to stop with him," he said.
Many of the men and women Coleman hired were unqualified yet are still at the agency, the paper reported.
Long said his staff interviewed 73 current and ex-employees and took sworn statements from 98 people.

seven-month-long internal investigation found that Corey Coleman, who oversaw the personnel department from 2011 until he resigned in June, operated a "toxic" environment within the agency.
Coleman, the former deputy personnel chief of the U.S. Secret Service, reportedly hired his friends and romantic interests, and promoted them "without going through proper federal hiring channels" despite their lack of qualifications.
The former chief allegedly shuffled women across departments so that his friends could have sexual relationships with them, employees and a FEMA official told the newspaper.

FEMA personnel chief under investigation for widespread sexual harassment
The recently departed head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) human resources department is under investigation for enabling a sexual harassment within the agency over the course of several years.
FEMA Administrator Brock Long told The Washington Post that a seven-month investigation found Corey Coleman, who led the agency's personnel department since 2011, hired dozens of friends and college fraternity brothers, as well as women he met at bars and through online dating sites.
Coleman promoted individuals without going through the proper channels, and in some cases promoted or transferred women throughout the agency so his friends could try to have sexual relationships with them, a FEMA official told The Washington Post.
