Report: BLM agent broke rules at Burning Man
By Jenny Kane, Reno Gazette-Journal
A Bureau of Land Management supervisory agent from Utah violated federal ethics rules after he used his position to get his family and girlfriend into Burning Man and influenced the hiring process for a friend, according to a report released Monday.
The Department of Interior’s Office of the Inspector General for a year and a half investigated three complaints about the agent.
The agent is not named in the report but is described as “the person behind many of the BLM requests” at Burning Man that were canceled in 2015, the report said.
