Soon after the monument was created in 2001, 13-year BLM veteran Marlene Braun was named manager. Having been stationed in Alaska and Nevada, the workaholic Braun finally felt at home on the Carrizo, and took intense pride in protecting it. She scaled back grazing on sensitive grasslands and began developing the monuments first management plan, which would phase out long-term livestock permits. Every agency signed on, even the BLMs California office. Then, in March 2004, the Bush administrationwhich was critical of Clintons last-minute monument designationsappointed Ron Huntsinger as Brauns supervisor in BLMs Bakersfield field office. With marching orders to favor ranching over preservation and fix this plan, Huntsinger and Braun became immediate enemies. The two butted heads repeatedly, so much so that in May 2005, Braunwho had also been dealing with her own psychological demonsarranged her personal affairs and wrote a few important letters about her fears for the Carrizo. She then took a .38 caliber revolver, killed her two dogsneatly placing their bodies under a quiltand turned the gun on herself.
