Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) has put a pro-federal-employee amendment into the Senate's 2013 financial services funding bill. That bill cleared the Appropriations Committee yesterday.
Mikulski's language would continue a ban on competition between federal agencies and contractors for service work. It would also stop outsourcing unless an agency can prove a cost savings. Plus it would prohibit arbitrary staff cuts by requiring agencies to match work with funds on hand. Mikulski complained that federal employees are the first to take a hit whenever deficit reduction comes up.

I thought a house fell on her.
ReplyDeleteShe wants to continue a ban on competition for government spending? She won't put a limit on competition for her meals either.
ReplyDeletewhen will she ever retire? that's the only way we'll get rid of her.
