Free speech zone

Obviously it's not at the D.C. Park Police office.

U.S. Park Police Chief Teresa C. Chambers, who was placed on leave after stating publicly that her department was understaffed, was formally notified yesterday that the National Park Service intends to fire her.

Chambers is accused, among other allegations, of improperly lobbying Congress and disclosing secret budget details through her public comments.

The chief got in trouble with her superiors after she said in several interviews that she had to curtail patrols beyond the Mall because of an Interior Department order requiring four officers to be posted at the Washington Monument and the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials.

Welcome to America, the land of free speech, honesty, and transparency in government, Teresa.
