Cox Defends Civil Service From Rider On Appropriation Bill
Congress man Cox of North Carolina sides with the President and reform-minded Democrats in opposing an amendment to the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. The rider would undo the civil service rules governing appointments, restoring party favoritism and undermining the merit based system. Critics say the proposal, pushed by Holman and Randall, would erase competitive safeguards and relegate federal appointments to political spoils.
