Trump Administration Cuts BPA Staff

(Washington, D.C.) -- 200 employees at the Bonneville Power Administration took the Trump Administration's buyout offer, 90 new job offers have been rescinded and 400 probationary employees could be laid off. Oregon Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley say cutting 20 percent of the agency's staff puts the power grid at risk. The BPA is a power marketing agency that operates on revenue it generates, and not tax dollars. They say the greatest impact will be on rural areas that buy power from the BPA.
