From Governemnt Executive
Rep. Darrell Issa, the ranking member on the House Oversight and Government Reform, went after the size of the federal workforce in general this morning at the opening of a hearing on the sorry financial state of the Postal Service. He claimed that the Postal Service has “more or less” a third more workers than it actually needs, and while insisting that he wants to support Postal workers and make sure they’re fully employed, is making no bones about the fact that he thinks the federal government is overstaffed.
