Its not a significant amount of money at all, especially compared to the cost of bombs dropped on Syria - BUT, if it makes EPA employees unhappy and miserable, then its worth it.

"it was the previous administration that granted those gym memberships,"

Trump's people never hesitate to inform the American people of the Democrats' malfeasance.

Bushes never do.

Wyoming Pond Nightmare

Here in the Wyoming boondocks I wanted a swimming pond for the kids in the summer, maybe skate a little in the winter. The EPA fined me $5,000 PER DAY for that..! One day they even told me I owed them SIX MILLION DOLLARS..! I'm a WELDER.

It was for only 37 people. I would like to know names and positions. Cost per person was high.

Oddly, we never heard a whisper about this from David Fahrenthold of the Washington Bezos Post-Blog.

Obama’s Cloward-Piven strategy may yet still ruin us.

Must be nice to be a worthless FED-GUV employee and do squat on a daily basis for over $100k/yr.

Very few government agents brighten our days by entering our lives, but a lot of them do by leaving.
There are a lot more govt. agencies and there’s a lot more fat to be trimmed. Occam’s razor: just abolish the EPA. To start.
Getting rid of their free gym time is nothing.

Outrageous that the taxpayer has to pay for this but this is not an expensive gym. 24 Hour Fitness has several types of gyms. If they were billed $15k for 37 people it comes out to $33 per month which equals an Active Club (basic).

The Ultra Sport gyms membership is over $125 or more per month. I have this membership although I am grandfathered in at $69 per month since 1995.

He might want to check those union contracts. There may be some arbitrations coming down the road. See, generally, Chapter 14 of the EPA-AFGE master contract “The Agency, within budgetary limitations, agrees to provide a wellness/fitness program.” and “”...a matter for local level bargaining”

Well, exercise equipment has been shown to be dangerous and deadly (especially for Democrats).
