Further investigations on area ducks are required

During our investigation, the efforts to uncover details about the latest cuts of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) in Springfield were made for challenges.

We have contacted several federal authorities, private individuals and construction owners to collect information about when the cuts occurred and whether the offices concerned are still in operation.

However, our inquiries were often provided with painted calls and limited access to information.

We could not reconcile any recording devices in the Paul Findlay Federal Building.

A member of the General Services Administration (GSA) office rejected a comment and transferred us to the Great Lakes region.

We also visited the small business administration, where we found the lights and the door closed.

The Doge website is not missing any details of the rental addresses and only provides data for the number of square meters and “overall savings”. Internet search were required to locate potential websites.

Important questions remain unanswered, including the basis why rental addresses are not listed, why a federal authority pays a rental agreement in a federal building, how the overall savings are calculated and whether jobs are lost. An owner announced that he found out about the rental agreement of the small management, which was not renewed at the same time as the public.

A GSA spokesman replied to our investigation into job losses and the importance of “termination by Mass Mod”, in which the vision of the incumbent administrator EHIKIAN for the GSA includes the reduction of our stages that have been postponed, the support of the office for the office of federal employees and the use of a stronger private and state partner when managing the work in the work of the future.

However, this answer did not deal with the specific questions.

We will continue to get answers and promises to provide updates as soon as further information is available.
