Five-Day Work Week
Fox News
Incoming Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is shocking some and angering others by abolishing what's been called the "Tuesday-Thursday club," the three-day work schedule Congress typically follows.
The Washington Post reports Hoyer wants members at the Capitol by 6:30 p.m. on Mondays for votes — and to stay until about 2:00 p.m. on Fridays. He also says he'll cut down long weekends and extended holidays.
Republican Jack Kingston of Georgia says the longer schedule will make things tougher at home but "the Democrats could care less about families." Republican Elton Gallegly of California wonders if the idea is what he calls "smoke-and-mirrors hoopla."
