Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on a recent action by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, a watchdog agency in Washington, which has dismissed a whistleblower's complaint that he was punished for criticizing the U.S. Navy's cleanup of peeling paint from a huge antenna farm in Cutler. Navy environmental compliance officer Normand Laberge had complained that his position was subordinated after he made persistent complaints about the diligence of efforts to contain lead and PCBs from the project. Maine's Department of Environmental Protection has required the Navy to monitor contamination in the air at nine locations around the site, including a local elementary school.
