In a recent article from The Journal, local resident Teresa Tumblin's whistleblower case against the FBI brings attention to issues of retaliation within federal agencies and highlights the need for whistleblower reform. Tumblin, who reported ethical violations regarding the FBI's National Name Check program, faced discrimination and eventual termination from her position despite her previous commendable service. Now, as National Whistleblower Day approaches, her story underscores the urgent need for accountability within the FBI, a concern resonating in communities throughout the region, especially in towns like Charles Town and Harpers Ferry, where local citizens advocate for stronger protections for those who speak out against wrongdoing.
