A bi-partisan group of Senators and Representatives today announced they are proposing a Bill to honor Federal workers on a series of postage stamps, posters in Federal buildings, and television commercials. The Bill also includes provisions for a generous pay raise of 15%, rollback of the retirement contribution increases, and a pledge to refrain from public attacks on the work ethic, integrity and motivations of Federal employees. So far 400 House members and 94 Senators have signed on as co-sponsors.
The new Bill – entitled the “Awarding People Representing Integrity, Loyalty, Faith, of our Land Act of 2015” (APRIL FOOL 2015), is expected to signed by the President in a gala ceremony on July 4.
Excellent try – but the best April Fool’s jokes start out looking plausible. This one was (unfortunately) immediately unbelievable. 🙂
