Do Feds Get Too Many Snow Days
The Washington Times reports, federal offices have been closed for a quarter of this fiscal year. Between the weather, the shutdown and holidays, agency doors have shut for all or some of 27 days since Oct. 1. To be fair, the paper singles out Congress as the biggest no-show. Members have not stayed in Washington long enough for a five-day work week this year.

and what is so bad about Congress being away from the Capitol?
The summer recess should be shortened by 2 weeks-- make the debutantes clear out of Cape Cod early and return to DC..
just send them all home. the problem is they are all getting paid
Having once worked in d.c. as a defense dept. employee. i can promise you, they are actually putting lives in danger by not giving enough days of on snow days. i had several trips home that took over 5 hours, personally got stuck once on 270 the snow was so deep.. saw dozens of accidents. serious many of them. one storm i had many coworkers who ended up sleeping on the woodrow wilson bridge and were stuck there for up to 21 hours. no gas, cars ran out running the heater.. freezing.
to much volume of traffic, and the plows can't keep up.
The Feds get too much everything including OUR MONEY.
You people know nothing about this. Stop trying to act like you do. Govt workers had no say about the shutdown or snow days. Stop letting your bitter feelings get in the way.
