Once in a while I get emails from various politicians.
I just received a short one from Patty Murray, the Senior Senator from my state.
It's about donnie's "buyout" offer.
I am cutting and pasting here three short paragraphs from that letter.
They tell the tale.
I added the red highlight.
*************************************
I wanted to reach out with some information about the Trump administration’s “Fork in the Road” offer, which claims to give federal workers the option of a “deferred resignation” that would allegedly allow workers to “retain all pay and benefits regardless of your daily workload and be exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements until September 30.”
First, there is no guarantee workers who accept this offer will get paid through September 30 as promised. Not only is there no funding for that time frame right now, but I personally am deeply skeptical of any offer from a President like Donald Trump who has so consistently shown he will try to stiff workers if it furthers his personal goals and ambitions.
And as the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee and the one who helps write our government funding bills, it’s important you know that, right now, the federal government is only funded through March 14, 2025. At this point, there is no funding allocated to agencies to pay staff for this offer.
