Trump’s EPA Cuts Nearly 4,000 Jobs, Saves Taxpayers $750 Million
The Environmental Protection Agency announces a reduction in force that will save taxpayers nearly $750 million.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced Friday a reduction in force that will save taxpayers nearly $750 million.
The workforce reorganization is part of the agency’s “comprehensive restructuring efforts,” and will affect the Office of Research and Development, the EPA’s scientific research arm.
After the latest reduction, the EPA will have cut its workforce from 16,155 employees in January to 12,448 employees today. That includes 3,201 individuals who voluntarily separated from the agency this year.
“This reduction in force will ensure we can better fulfill that mission while being responsible stewards of your hard-earned tax dollars.”
The EPA announced it was refocusing employees on its most important obligations and necessary functions.
It's more than the salaries...it's the loss of bureaucratic power by the dems. I suspect it will result in a 3-fold+ savings in the end.
Hey, if and when they move into the private sector, they actually can be fired there too.
