联邦机构指示员工将政府停摆归咎于民主党人

摘要

多家联邦机构指示员工将政府停摆归咎于民主党参议员,引发对可能违反联邦道德法律的担忧。

多家联邦机构已指示员工将持续的政府停摆归咎于民主党参议员。例如,教育部自动从被休假的工作人员的电子邮件账户发送外出消息,称参议院民主党人阻挠拨款法案的通过,导致拨款中断。一些员工报告称这些消息是在未经他们同意的情况下发送的,引发了对可能违反《哈奇法案》的担忧,该法案禁止联邦雇员参与党派政治活动。

同样,小企业管理局(SBA)为员工提供了外出邮件模板,指责参议院民主党人导致政府停摆。建议的消息称,每天停摆持续期间,约有320家小企业无法获得1.7亿美元的SBA担保资金。一名SBA员工表达了担忧,认为使用此类消息可能明显违反《哈奇法案》。

住房和城市发展部(HUD)在其网站上显示横幅,写着“国会中的激进左翼关闭了政府”。该信息还出现在网站的弹出窗口中。一名HUD员工描述了这些消息的普遍性,指出它们在该机构内部系统的每次点击中都会出现。

法律专家对这些指令可能违反联邦道德法律表示担忧,包括旨在保持联邦项目非党派性并保护员工免受政治胁迫的《哈奇法案》。密歇根大学公共政策教授唐·莫伊尼汉表示,政府的行为感觉像是强制言论,政府强迫员工在与公众沟通时传播其宣传。

特朗普政府为其行为辩护,称这些信息反映了事实并基于事实。然而,在停摆期间使用联邦资源和员工传播党派信息,引发了关于此类做法的适当性和合法性的争论。
