Internal Revenue Service employee Mary Maldonado, of Dracut, Mass., center, displays a placard during a rally by federal employees and supporters, Thursday, Jan. 17, 2019, in front of the Statehouse, in Boston, held to call for an end of the partial shutdown of the federal government.
The pay hike would be less than the 2.6 percent increase the military received in legislation that Congress passed last year.
President Donald Trump has proposed a pay freeze for federal employees. But lawmakers from the Washington area, who represent tens of thousands of federal workers, have been pushing to get them a pay increase.
The final language of the legislation to avoid the shutdown is still being worked out.
For the pay raise to go into effect, the bill would have to be passed by the House and Senate, then receive the president’s signature.
Lawmakers are also trying to include language in the legislation that would provide back pay to federally contracted workers, related to the 35-day shutdown. The legislation is supported by lawmakers from Virginia, Maryland and D.C.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Good for you. I am so happy that you are going to leave that place that does not respect you. Life is too short and you show dedication and professionalism at the job and do more then expected. Companies will be knocking down doors to get you. Good Luck!!!!!
I hate hearing that. My brother works for a foreign company in the United States. The pay is insanely good but the conditions are not that great. I am actually surprised because supposedly Europe treats their workers good. Ha! Liberals seems to think so anyway. Their delusion comes through on just about everything they think of.
[after all Money grows on Taxpayers, right?]
It’s amazing the number of people (Leftists/Democrats) that don’t see Venezuela coming).
It’s all just going to magically continue with no problems at all.
[What Would Jeb Do?]
I think we must all ask ourselves that question.
Ultimately, it’s whatever sister Hillary tells (and the Democrats tell) him to do.
Meanwhile, unrelated in many ways, I don’t think Jeb was scared here (in this video). But there was something Laura didn’t like and something Jeb really didn’t like. You’ll have to freeze it to catch her face.
I thought this video was odd and that I’d post it somewhere Jebby came up. So, FWIW.

I have no idea what this is but ran across it one night.
