John Carter Federal Pay Freeze a Good Start; Now Fire the Czars

(WASHINGTON, DC) – President Obama’s announcement of a pay freeze for federal employees should be followed by firing the unneeded “Czars” the President has appointed without Senate confirmation, according to House Republican Conference Secretary John Carter. “Time to throw out the deadweight,” says Carter. “If we can hold off pay increases for federal employees and social security recipients, we can certainly get rid of this crowd of folks who were appointed under constitutionally-questionable conditions for jobs that could be done by existing officials.

That is a waste of taxpayer dollars, and I hope the President will use his apparent new deficit-cutting momentum to send out some pink slips to the rent-seekers.”

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.forcing Pete Hoekstra from official Washington office

Hoekstra Encourages Constituents to Contact District Office Washington, D.C. Office Scheduled to Close on Nov. 30 Washington, Nov 29 - U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Holland, is encouraging constituents to contact his Holland District Office with questions concerning policy as his Washington office in the Rayburn House Office Building will soon become vacated.

"The ability of my office in Washington to respond to constituent concerns will begin to diminish beginning on Dec. 1," Hoekstra said. "The Speaker of the House is forcing my staff from my official office while Congress is still in session. It is unfortunate that she is doing so, but that is the reality in which we are working."

Hoekstra’s Holland District Office can be reached by phone at (616) 395-0030 and can be reached by mail or in person at 184 S. River Ave., 49423.

"We will continue to work hard at responding to questions and concerns that arise as we have always done," Hoekstra said. "Through the month of December, however, a more effective means of doing so will be by contacting my staff in Holland."
