Panel advises cutting salaries at Office of National Drug Control Policy
Salaries and expenses at the Office of National Drug Control Policy would fall from $26.6 million to $11.5 million under the recommendation of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The director of the office, John Walters, earns $183,500. There are 111 full-time employees at the agency.
If this were to actually go through, it would be a good thing, but I am under the impression that this is just posturing. I think the Appropriations committee is P-O’ed about the level of response they are getting to their inquires, and are making threats in order to get better response, but I just can’t believe that this committee, under Republican control, is going to cut an offices that represents one of their big platform issues.
