Just when I thought I have seen and read everything, Unions and the Government set out to prove me wrong.
The American Federation of Government Employees, is suing the White House, seeking details on the shutdown plans of federal agencies. John Gage, the union's national president, filed the lawsuit after the White House Office of Management and Budget, failed to respond to a Freedom of Information Act request.
The O.M.&B. did not comment on the lawsuit, but the office said the administration "has taken steps to improve transparency and accountability within the Government." The agency called plans for a shutdown, pre-decisional at this time," and that more information will be given as it is finalized.
With Democrats and Republicans unable to reach a budget agreement, a shutdown could come as early as 4.8.11. The White House has written a memo to agency heads asking them to review and share their contingency plans for a shutdown.
Gage noted if their is a government shutdown, the unions will ask employees to report to their job sites early next week to demonstrate that they are are ready to go back to work.
This is really history in the making.
Yours in Liberty !
