And she said she was proud of employees' progress. She was reassigned within the National Park Service in late October while the inspector general of its parent agency, the Interior Department, looked into a subordinate's complaints that Lehnertz wrongfully proposed a one-day suspension, that she bullied or retaliated against male leaders, and that she wasted $180,000 to renovate a park residence. Her Denver-based attorney, Kevin Evans, said Lehnertz also was ordered not to contact Grand Canyon's staff. Investigators found Lehnertz did nothing wrong. She acknowledged that some employees found her personality harsh when she is stressed and that she asks detailed questions but said she had try to "check" herself, according to the investigative report. Lehnertz was set to return to the Grand Canyon ahead of the park's centennial celebration in late February. But Evans advised her not to go back. "If Chris has her preference, she would be back," Evans said. "But people can blame me for that."
