Offices of Green Energy & Sustainability: “VACANT”
Proliferation of “Chief”, “Senior” “Deputy Chief” and “Deputy” Advisors
Seeing that DEP Commissioner Bob Martin has been touted as a “strong private sector manager” with experience in the energy industry, I thought I’d share – drumroll please! – the “November 24, 2014 Announcement” – i.e. the latest version of the DEP’s Organizational Chart.
I can’t seem to count all the various “advisors” to the Commissioner in his office, but that entourage looks to be at least 20 people. The lines of function, reporting, and accountability look random.
I assume all of these are Governor approved “special appointments” (i.e. patronage hacks) that did not come through the career civil service system.
Wonder if they have maids, butlers, and cocktail service?
Given Martin’s alleged expertise on energy, I noted that there’s even an Assistant Commissioner for “Sustainability and Green Energy” with no Divisions, Bureaus, or even staff.
Wonder how Civil Service approved that position?
