Whistleblower Says He Was Fired for Speaking Out About State Park Problems

Former employee says he was fired after reporting safety concerns and financial irregularities

The whistleblower, who worked as a park ranger for 10 years, says he was fired after he reported concerns about safety hazards and financial irregularities to his superiors. He says he was told that he was being fired for “insubordination” but that he believes he was fired in retaliation for speaking out.

The park ranger says he first raised concerns about safety hazards at the park in 2016. He says he reported that several trees were in danger of falling and that the park was not doing enough to maintain its trails. He says he also reported that he had seen evidence of financial irregularities, such as employees clocking in for hours they did not work.

The park ranger says he was ignored by his superiors and that he was told to stop speaking out about the problems. He says he was eventually fired in 2018 after he refused to stop speaking out.

The park ranger says he has no regrets about speaking out about the problems at the park. He says he believes that he did the right thing and that he hopes his actions will lead to changes at the park.

The park ranger's firing has raised concerns about the culture of silence at the park. Several other employees have come forward to say that they have been afraid to speak out about problems at the park for fear of losing their jobs.

The park ranger's firing has also raised concerns about the safety of visitors to the park. The park ranger says that the safety hazards he reported have not been addressed and that he believes that visitors to the park are at risk.

The park ranger's firing has prompted an investigation by the state's Department of Natural Resources. The investigation is ongoing.
