Trump puts a hold on planned salary increases in 2019
From the WSJ:
Mr. Trump said employee pay “must be performance-based, and aligned strategically toward recruiting, retaining, and rewarding high-performing federal employees and those with critical skill sets.”
I am in total and complete agreement with that statement and kudos to Trump for saying that---now follow through.
However, the total freeze should be done in conjunction with other belt tightening measures---like the wall!
