From the Salt Lake Tribune: Utah’s members of Congress have talked incessantly about the need to cut federal spending and now they have to do it in their own offices. Under sequestration, their personal office budgets are going to be cut between 8 and 11 percent.

While the White House is warning that its staffers face furloughs, Utah’s members of Congress say their employees are not going to face any pay cuts. But that doesn’t mean the offices haven’t felt any impacts.

Rep. Rob Bishop has decided to leave a couple of positions open, while Sen. Mike Lee is asking his chief of staff to do double duty as his district director for a few more months to save salary. A handful of people have left Sen. Orrin Hatch’s office in the past few months and at least three positions are being eliminated.  http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/politics/55975153-90/congress-bishop-com-committee.html.csp

I hope Congress and the President need to lead and embrace cuts in their offices.

Sadly, Obama hasn't, other than closing the doors to those smelly tourists at the White House.
