Interior Secretary puts DOGE rep Tyler Hassen in charge of cuts
… In an order issued Thursday, (Interior Secretary Doug) Burgum put Tyler Hassen, who came to the Interior Department as a representative of the U.S. DOGE Service, in charge of a sweeping effort to “create significant efficiencies” and eliminate “redundant efforts” across the department. Hassen’s broad portfolio includes IT, human resources, training, financial management, international affairs, contracting, communications and other tasks. … Hassen’s decisions could have major implications for how Interior — which is responsible for maintaining national parks, protecting endangered species, and overseeing drilling in public lands and waters — operates going forward. … One of Hassen’s first tasks after President Donald Trump’s inauguration was visiting a Northern California water pumping station to push one of Trump’s long-standing priorities: rerouting water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to other parts of the state.
