My attitude only reflects what I see in the attitude of the current employees.
Morale is very low.
I don't believe they feel they're allowed to fully exercise their professional capabilities. Politics has never had more influence on the Dept. And a lot of that politics and the influence on the Dept. comes about due to a lack of funds. You always have to go to the Legislature begging for funds, so you never want to rub em the wrong way, because you might not get your funding. So one of the most important things that needs to be done is the Dept. needs more funding.
