IRS to pay $70M in bonuses, Grassley says
The Internal Revenue Service is about to pay $70 million in employee bonuses despite an Obama administration directive to cancel discretionary bonuses because of automatic spending cuts enacted this year, according to a GOP senator. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa says his office has learned that the IRS is executing an agreement with the employees' union on Wednesday to pay the bonuses. Grassley says the bonuses should be canceled under an April directive from the White House budget office.
Quote of the Day
One of the things that we feel has not happened is that while great work is done by GAO, the inspectors general, OMB and many others, many times they don't make specific actionable recommendations that Congress then has to say yay or nay on.
