"A bill introduced by Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), the “Helping Infrastructure Restore the Economy Act’’ (HIRE Act), would move the headquarters of 10 departments out of the National Capital Region...Hawley’s office said 'Every year Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars fund federal agencies that are mainly located in the D.C. bubble. That’s a big part of the problem with Washington: They’re too removed from the rest of America. The HIRE Act will move policymakers directly into the communities they serve, creating thousands of jobs for local communities and saving taxpayers billions of dollars along the way.'"
