Todd Wells, Executive Director
Federal Managers Association

The members of the Federal Managers Association (FMA) remain steadfast in their desire to work with Congress and the President to identify more effective and cost-efficient ways to ensure our veterans receive the treatment they deserve. However, we are extremely concerned by the erosion of due process for federal employees included in the Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act.

Twenty years ago, on April 19, 1995, the Oklahoma City Alfred J. Murrah Federal Building was blown up by a truck bomb, killing 168 people and injuring hundreds more for the sole crime of being federal employees serving their fellow Americans.

Currently, we have a federal budget proposal that continues the denigration of the federal community by reducing benefits to the tune of $318 billion on top of the $120 billion already given in an attempt to balance the budget on the backs of federal workers.
