          Or, apparently, see that the last four pages of the documents he used shows that it's not 19 (which he says now but wasn't in his article).

          tl;dr: @AndrewCFollett is either a very bad reporter, can't read, or just wanted to spend an afternoon trolling @cjane87 and me. I'm tired.

          It is the 37 memberships across all locations that @cjane87 is mentioning. Not that it matters. Because he's just lying apparently.

          Also of note that he's seeing 19 memberships & repeating that. That's just for staff at 1 EPA location. The others are spelled out below.

          Also when DC says EPA employees have "access" to "world-class" UNLV gym. Not exactly true. Not free for non-students. $25/mo for EPA staff.
