Hosmer pushes civil service and loyalty bills in Congress
Washington congressman Craig Hosmer of Long Beach introduced two measures to strengthen the civil service and national security.

Hosmer cites taxpayer relief schemes and notes a Senate hurdle but argues benefits should not go to the unworthy.
