Hatch Bill Moves Through House to Senate Action
The amended Hatch bill, once seen as dead in Congress, passes the House on Wednesday and heads to the Senate for action on changes.

The Arkansas delegation split on the vote, reflecting doubts about enforcing the policy in practice. The piece argues government’s rise into business necessitates adopting private sector procedures and political restraint across all government payrolls.
