Government Executive: A group of nine House Republicans recently sent a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announcing “concerns” with proposed cuts to federal retirement programs outlined in President Trump’s fiscal 2018 budget.
The lawmakers cited the large number of federal employees and retirees living in their districts, and they noted that about 30.9 percent of the federal workforce is made up of veterans. Although they did not outright say that they oppose the retirement cuts, they described their inclusion in the budget as “recycling discredited proposals targeting federal workers.”
