As you may (should) already know, federal agencies being in close proximity allow for better access to meetings with varying departments. This won’t be a good idea for the sake of our federal institutions
Americans work too hard for Washington to waste their tax dollars.
Today, @HawleyMO & I introduced the HIRE Act to move 90% of federal jobs outside D.C.
It will help boost local economies and lower costs.
Now that’s a winning combination!http://bit.ly/33PzApY

Trying to decentralize our government serves no purpose. It would be wasting tax dollars to move agencies from their current locations not to mention the disruption it would have on the people that currently work in those agencies.

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha, we know what you’re up to. Ain’t gonna happen even if you call it the Trump Should Resign Act. Just call it the Gut the Fed Act, which is really what this is.

I don't understand how this saves money but it would certainly add to the brain drain from federal agencies if people decided not to move with the jobs. It also seems convenient to have those folks working close to the elected officials who represent us.

That's exactly what happened when the USDA recently moved to Kansas City. People who have homes & families can't easily pack & go. The more vacancies there are, the better the GOP likes it. Their goal is to dismantle, not improve.

So, my tax dollars pay for the vast relocation costs associated with this, which is being done for no real purpose than to make two inept legislators look like they're doing something for their pay? Think I'll pass on this, thanks...

I love this idea. Break up big government!

She's not breaking up government, she wants to spread it out.
