EPA scraps $1 million in gym memberships for employees

The Environmental Protection Agency is scrapping the agency's nearly $1 million in gym memberships as an abuse of taxpayer funds.

...
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt vowed to get rid of the gym memberships after the newspaper reported earlier this year that the agency had paid $15,000 per year for employees in Las Vegas to upgrade to premium fitness memberships at 24 Hour Fitness. This was done even though the employees already had complimentary gym memberships at the University of Nevada's campus in Las Vegas.


This is the common sense stuff that got Trump elected.

This is fine but what is it? A few hours of bombing?

Lets hope this goes across the board.

I'll be honest -- as much as I detest Trump -- this kind of stuff is what I was hoping he would be doing. It isn't a priority it seems and it should be. Cut all the fat and benefits we pay these people.

I'm sure people will still find a way to complain about this somehow....Almost a million bucks for lazy ass gov't workers to hit the treadmill? Nope.

Doesn't matter. this notion that a frivolous expense may not be significant to the over all budget -- is not a good excuse for something to not be cut.

Are the memberships related to a discount on health insurance?

Exactly. Let's chip away.

Interesting that it was a media outlet that brought this expenditure to the fore front. Dang those media people.

My point..........where is the demand for Trump to quite wasting trillions in the middle east? I didn't say this was wrong. I said there are far, far, far bigger wastes people are ignoring.
