Beginning this week, hundreds of thousands of civilian defense employees in Maryland and across the country will experience furloughs as a result of Congresss inability to compromise on a balanced, responsible agreement to reduce the deficit.

Hoyer Statement in Opposition to Republican Bill Targeting Federal Employees
April 15, 2013
I strongly oppose this latest attempt to defame and demoralize our federal employees, who have been working hard to address our nation's most pressing challenges. Nobody who engages in tax delinquency should be given a free pass, but this bill would force agencies to fire employees or prohibit them from hiring anyone who has received notice of a tax lien, which is not a final determination by the IRS of liability. This is an uncertain standard to use when determining if someone is, in fact, delinquent on his or her taxes.
