Veterans preference clouds civil service reform debate
A perfect civil service exam score by a woman for an air traffic controller post was undermined by veteran point bonuses, dropping her to 167th. Civil Service Commission chair Alan Campbell noted this happens regularly, as veterans gain lifetime federal job preference. The Senate committee rejected proposals to cut veteran preference, opting to form a joint task force with Veterans Affairs to study the issue and report by year end, warning reforms could collapse under veteran opposition.
