While everyone is complaining about the high price of gasoline, it appears that employees of the Interior Department in Denver were having sexual relations with oil industry eimployees.
As reported by the AP earlier this evening:
Congressman Henry Waxman, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has already said he will call for hearings next week.
As reported by the AP earlier this evening:
The reports describe a fraternity house atmosphere inside the Denver Minerals Management Service office responsible for marketing oil and natural gas that energy companies barter to the government in lieu of cash royalty payments for drilling on federal lands. The government received $4.3 billion in such royalty-in-kind payments last year. The oil and gas is then resold to energy companies or put in the nation's emergency stockpile.

One of the reports claims that the former head of the Denver royalty-in-kind office, Gregory W. Smith, purchased cocaine from a co-worker, and one occasion had it delivered to the office. He also allegedly had oral sex with subordinates. The report also said Smith steered government contracts to Geomatrix Consultants Inc. and used government databases and e-mail accounts to conduct business for the company, which paid him $30,000 for his work from April 2002 through June 2003. Smith retired from the office in May 2007.
