Republican MPs are concerned about the impact on jobs and industry in their states as the government’s efficiency department of the government of Trump administration, known as Dogi, known as Dogi.
But very few people are directly criticizing Elon Musk, the leader of President Trump or Dogi, and is taking a quiet approach instead. But concerns still underlined the conflict between the shrinking government and the parocial interests.
Alaska Republican Sen Lisa Murkowski said that she was listening to so many components worried about the cut in federal workforce in her state that she decided to host a tele town hall on Wednesday night, in which she said that more than 1,000 people said that she said more than 1,000 people Has participated
Alaska is one of the largest federal task forces per person in the country, in which public land management is a significant focus. Murkovsky stated that concerns in the town hall affect preparations for Wildland Fire, which take national parks to the brutal treatment of employees.
He said, “The sudden termination that we have seen for those people are really harmful,” he said that he took his concerns for internal secretary Dag Bergam. “The problem is that, they need that all these people who have been eliminated again, so they have to go back to usa.gov and go through the application process, which, if you have not done this, then a one Multi.
Alaska Senator said that it supports the end of waste, fraud and abuse in the government, “but one way we go about it, and we go to the boundaries of the law and within the rules that are out of it. Do … when you are dealing with employees, there is a right way to treat them.
Another liberal Senator Main Republican Susan Colins said that he is also concerned with the impact on national parks in his state as well as biomedical research.
“I think many of these firing are indiscriminate,” he said. “We should wait until the cabinet members are confirmed and they can pay attention to the needs of their agencies instead of making these wide indiscriminate cuts. The fact that workers were allowed to go Are avian flu, And the fact is that the workers have also been fired which are Responsible for nuclear safetyShows that we need a more careful approach.
Earlier this month, as administration began Disintegrated USAIDCensus Republican Sen Jerry Moran urged state secretary Marco Rubio to distribute $ 340 million in American-developed food, currently stalled in American ports that are to reach the needy people. “
Moran, who sat in the Senate Agricultural Committee, also said that he raised his concerns with the White House. He said, “US Food Ed feeds Hungry, bolces our national security and provides an important market for our farmers, especially when the commodity prices are low,” he said on X.
Census Republican Sen Roger Marshall participated with Moran to transfer the food of USAID to the peace program – Special Interest for Canasus Farmers – Under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture.
“For me, all this is about saving the money of American taxpayers, and so I fully support support in these programs,” Marshall told CBS News. “I think it is time to get rid of some of the agencies in this federal government, which we have in the army, more than 2 million employees. So I think it is time to consolidate Is.”
MPs have also taken notice of retrenchment at the National Institute of Health. Alabama Sen Katie Britn told Al.com, “Every percentage of the taxpayer earned by hard work should be spent efficiently, prudent and accountability-by-exception.” “While the administration works to achieve this goal in NIH, a smart, targeted approach is required to not obstruct life-guarding, groundbreaking research in Alabama like those in Alabama. ”
Most of the other Republican Dogi’s mission remains. North Carolina GOP Sen Thom Tilis said that he is ensuring that FEMA and Disaster Assistance is not interrupted in his kingdom, which has recently been destroyed by storms. But overall, he said, he agrees with the approach.
“I really believe that they are doing so because they are ill to try to get answers to legitimate questions, where we can be skilled, and the way to force people to justify investment on exceptions Everything has to be closed, “Tilis said. “I know it is disruptive, but I think they need to have the ability to bring back things online that makes sense.”
Oklahoma Sen. Markwane Mulin also defended the efforts of the administration to cut the cost. He pointed to the country’s buried loans as a national security issue, requiring “difficult options”.
“Any member is going to be particularly upset about some cuts that are happening in our backyard,” Mulin told CBS News. “Look, what has happened to the FAA? You know, in Oklahoma City, we had training facility for our air traffic controllers, okay? It’s a matter of concern, and I have talked and I have talked. But I have talked. At the same time, we have taxpayers and American people responsible for getting our financial, our financial burden. “
Florida’s senator Rick Scott said that he is not confident that Musk and his Dogi team are moving forward very quickly.
Scott said, “When I was a governor, I did it. This is what I did in my business life.” “You go through and you are constantly looking at how to spend your money better. Therefore, this is what they should do. This is what everyone should do. Everyone- you know Are everyone going through the budget and saying ‘How can we save money’?
