House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) called out President Joe Biden for using the pandemic as an expired excuse to expand telework for federal employees permanently. His comments came after the Office of Management and Budget’s newly released statement.
“House Republicans have pressured the Biden Administration to address the issue of prolonged pandemic-era telework and it is finally discussing it,” Comer stated on Friday.“However, OMB managed to issue a 19-page memo that shed virtually no light on when federal employees are returning to their offices — or under what conditions continued elevated levels of telework may be warranted.”
“Returning to in-person work means returning to the core mission of each federal agency, which is to serve the needs of the American people,” Comer said in his opening remarks at the March hearing. “This legislation is urgent. Federal agencies are falling short on their missions,” Comer said in his remarks to the House on Feb. 1. “They are not carrying out their duties; they are failing the American people”
Comer and fellow House Republicans are joined by a handful of lawmakers urging Biden to send federal workers back to in-person work. Proponents of the return to in-person work include D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.
