Republicans are turning up the heat on President Biden to get remote federal employees back to work.
A bombshell report late last year revealed that all federal agencies are less than 50 percent occupied - wasting an estimated $2.8 million per day.
That's a staggering statistic since federal agencies spend about $2 billion taxpayer dollars per year to operate and maintain federal office buildings - and over $5 billion annually in leases.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is taking action to ensure accountability on the part of the Biden administration by demanding 'proof' of return-to-office plans.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) wrote to all agencies in April 2023 stating that the 'expectation' is that they would increase in-person work at federal offices - but they have not abided by the directive.
