Well, with one of his First Executive actions as president today, donald trump ordered a freeze on federal hiring. Its part of a Campaign Promise to cut through the washington bureaucracy and to limit the size of government. So, not a surprise, but it could have a very big impact on our region. News 4s Megan Fitzgerald is live with a look at what it could mean. Megan . Reporter yeah, this is a move thats not being well received by everyone, including members of trumps own party like congresswoman barbara come stock who spoke out against this measure earlier today. But its not unprecedented. Weve seen former president S Ronald Reagan and jimmy carter do the same thing, but critics say, look, this is just a move thats going to make it more costly in the long run for tax payers. It was a Campaign Promise by then candidate trump. I think its indicative of a Trump Administration. Obviously hes doing what he said hes goi t victory. Reporter he said he would drain the swamp even detailing his plan with a contract with the american voter. The second measure says, quote, a hiring freeze on all federal employees, with the exception of military, public safety, and public health. Weve been talk about this for a long time. Reporter today President Trump made dpogood on that prom by signing an executive order which says they can position existing at noon on january 22nd cannot be filled. Did he say freeze entirely sounds a bit naive. Reporter the president says no new position can be created except in limited circumstances. Leads the charge to make that happen. Reporter james mcgregger is the publisher of the washington business journal. He says its likely this will be the new normal for federal employees. If i were in the federal government, i would not be expecting a whole lot of growth. I wouldnt be expecting a lot of wage increases that he campaigned on. Reporter but groups like the National Active and retired federal employees association are completely against the executive order. In a statement, the organization said, quote, it would undermine the efficiency of Government Operations by creating hiring backlogs and inadequate staffing levels, and it is unlikely to save money. But at least for now, most federal agencies wont be seeing new people any time soon. Now, the Obama Administration likely saw this measure coming, which is why he put in place a 2 in crease for federal workers. At this point it doesnt appear as though the federal order will affect that in any way. Reporting in northwest, Megan Fitzgerald, news 4.
