This is a pretty twisted reading; it basically is a reading of the statute that it has no effect or any kind of restraint at all. We'll see what happens.

- tlb 2y agoThe purpose of many laws is to require documentation without imposing any new limits on what the government can do.
- rayiner 2y agoThe statute just says the agency must use the existing regulations. The regulations were promulgated by the agency to govern its own discretion. The executive reads the regulation to constrain the civil service to a particular process, but allow the negotiated indirects to be overridden by the head of the agency with a documented reason. You’re assuming that the regulation would constrain the head of the agency but why would that be the case?
- jaybrendansmith 2y agoWhether or not the head of agency is allowed to a drastic change like this doesn't change the fact that it is stupid. It's going to cost money in the long run.
