good morning.
i have not heard from you all in weeks....it seems.
what i have been getting from employees & lesa, in the forest service, region 5, it is business as usual. there seems to be a serious disconnect between what we are trying to do and the good ole boys out west.
the word that change must come is not getting to the ground level....where it is really needed. the abuses continue.
we are waiting to hear from you. we still feel that a meeting with secretary vilsack is important, especially, based on what we are hearing still from employees and Black farmers....see the story below.
respectfully,
lawrence lucas, 19 year president
usda coalition of minority employees
