Virginia Democrats 'asking the wrong question' amid outrage over DOGE federal workforce cuts, GOP leader says
Fox News
A top Virginia Republican responded to concerns being voiced by the Commonwealth's Democratic House speaker over DOGE's plan to slash the federal workforce.
Earlier this week, House Speaker Don Scott Jr. wrote a letter to the commonwealth's unemployment agency warning of the fallout from such a plan and a potential uptick in unemployment claims. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"We should all be concerned about what these changes mean for the employees raising their families in Virginia, paying taxes in Virginia and calling Virginia home," Scott wrote to Virginia Employment Commissioner Demetrios Melis in a letter reported by the Richmond Times-Dispatch. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
