Senate votes to cut federal payroll by one percent
In Washington the Senate approved a one percent cut to the federal payroll within the Labor Appropriations bill by a 58 to 24 vote. The move, led by Sen. Ferguson, aims to save about 11 million dollars a year and affects roughly 4,700 jobs across departments. Ferguson seeks similar cuts in all fiscal year 1947 regular funds bills, potentially reducing the President’s budget by over 400 million if adopted across 12 bills. The Senate previously rejected a 15 percent cut by 54 to 24. The civilian payroll now tops 8.3 billion annually, near wartime peaks.
