Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa has called for an investigation into remote government workers, citing her concern that taxpayers are not receiving “the best value for their hard-earned dollars.” Senator Ernst plans to pursue a closer examination of teleworking federal employees in an effort to ensure that taxpayer money is not being “misspent” or “mismanaged.” In addition, she claims that she is “coming after” workers who are not doing their part to ensure that all taxpayer money is properly protected and managed. Senator Ernst’s investigation comes as the federal government has faced additional scrutiny over reports of improper spending and lax oversight in the teleworking sector.
