Dec. 17, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement praising the re-introduction of the Modern Employment Reform, Improvement and Transformation (MERIT) Act by U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), which has been cosponsored by U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and nine other House members:
“The MERIT Act will allow federal civil service managers to fast track the firing of incompetent, insubordinate and/or recalcitrant employees. This is necessary to ensure that the federal workforce succeeds in its mission to serve the American taxpayer. After all, you cannot drain the swamp if you cannot fire the swamp.”
