Background:

Last week, Senator Ernst released a detailed report exposing telework and locality pay abuse that is costing taxpayers billions and laid out specific solutions to get Washington back to work.

In August 2023, Ernst demanded investigations into 24 federal departments and agencies to determine the impact of telework on the delivery and response times of services.

In December 2023, Ernst exposed that, almost four years after COVID-19 temporarily closed federal buildings, not a single government agency is occupying even half their office space and called on Biden’s bureaucrats to deck the agency halls with federal workers or sell off unused facilities.
