Peoria has Cat and is doing ok. How about Detroit? It’s broke and the Pentagon will be well placed to guard against the invasion of marauding Canuckistanians. |
Not to mention the inefficiencies. From an organizational POV it makes sense to have agency HQ near Congress and the Executive Branch and to have regional, state and local field offices for agencies that provide direct services to the public (Social Security, VA etc.) Agree that this stinks a little like Ryan Zinke's approach to running professional civil servants out of the Interior Dept by transferring them to far away places. It could also be a way to pay off swamp denizens in red states. If your district voted for Trump you get a brand new federal agency HQ. This is one more sign of the admin trying to turn a professional civil service into one based on political patronage. |
I am a Fed and I would actually be delighted at the prospect of moving to an area with a low cost of living.
Therefore, this will NEVER happen. |
