U.S. Rep. Barney Frank on Thursday said Lubchenco should be replaced following an inspector general’s report that found misconduct within the agency.
“I believe the time has come to appoint a new head of ... NOAA, and put somebody in there who’s really going to embrace what we need,” Frank said during an appearance on New Bedford, Mass.-based WBSM-AM. “I think it’s time for Lubchenco to go.”
U.S. Rep. John Tierney also called for Lubchenco's dismissal in the wake of the inspector general's report.
