Salazar travels to Lakewood Thursday to announce strict ethics policy reform

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced Wednesday he plans to visit Lakewood on Thursday with a message of sweeping reform for the Department, which he said has been "tarnished by ethical lapses and criminal behavior that has extended to the highest levels of government." In scathing remarks delivered at the White House, the former senior senator from Colorado said he plans to meet with federal employees at the Minerals Management Service (MMS), the agency that collects billions of dollars for the federal government from oil and gas companies that drill on public land. Salazar said he would make it clear he "will no longer tolerate" the "ethical transgressions" that led to last summer's MMS "scandal involving sex, drugs, and inappropriate gifts from oil and gas companies."
