I was a contractor for the US EPA back in the early 1980s. I'll
second that observation -- the vagaries of the political process, and
the political agendas of the appointed leaders of agencies -- those
who aren't considered "civil servants" -- were the cause of much of
the squandered potential of the agency.
In many instances the appointed leaders received their positions due
to their effectiveness as fundraisers or political organizers, having
absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with the activities of the agency
to which they were appointed.
