    Bipartisan group of Senators ask White House to reconsider cancelation of collective bargaining agreements
    Apr 18 2025
    A group of bipartisan senators is asking President Donald Trump to reconsider his broad cancelation of federal collective bargaining agreements. In a letter sent to the President on Thursday, four senators say they are concerned that his recent executive order will impede efforts to make the government more efficient.

    Infrastructure permitting agencies have 45 days to develop modernization plans
    Apr 17 2025
    Agencies who handle the federal permitting process for roads, bridges and other infrastructure programs are on the hook to modernize the technology that runs these systems and share data more easily. President Donald Trump's latest executive order says the Council on Environmental Quality has 45 days to develop a Permitting Technology Action Plan that will include initial technology and data standards. The action plan also will provide a roadmap for creating a unified interagency permitting and environmental review data system. Agencies then will have 90 days to implement the data and technology standards and minimum functional requirements for the new interagency system. CEQ also will lead an interagency Permitting Innovation Center that will design and test prototype tools that could be implemented as part of the Permitting Technology Action Plan.
