Trump administration expected to continue its mass downsizing of the federal workforce amid warnings of unlawful terminations and a ‘monumental’ bill
Republican congressman Rich McCormick’s Georgia district voted for Donald Trump by a 60% margin last November, but many residents are not pleased with the president allowing the “department of government efficiency” to gut federal agencies.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that McCormick learned this the hard way last night, when he held a very well-attended town hall in which constituents aired their grievances over what they feared were haphazard and damaging cuts to programs that did not deserve to meet such a fate.
The Suwanee Republican’s staff expected a robust turnout for his first town hall since Trump took office. But they seemed caught off guard by the massive crowd of hundreds that gathered outside Roswell City Hall.
Attendees set the tone early, with one accusing McCormick of “doing us a disservice” for supporting the budget-slashing initiatives by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency that have torn through all corners of federal government.
