Get Ready For Schedule G

Keith’s note: this popped out of the White House on Thursday. You may recall the earlier Schedule F thing “that will make it easier to remove federal employees it believes are undercutting President Trump’s agenda.” Now there is Schedule G which involved bringing in a new type of political/policy employee for the duration of an Administration only. Here is the stated rationale for this new classification: “Creating Schedule G fills this gap and facilitates appointments of non-career federal employees who will serve temporarily and implement the policy agenda prescribed by the American people through our elections. This will improve operations, particularly in agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs, by streamlining appointments for key policy roles.”
