They Need a Law to Prevent Gov't Workers from Looking at Porn All Day?
They Need a Law to Prevent Gov't Workers from Looking at Porn All Day?

Eric Katz of Government Executive writes that Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., has:
… introduced a bill to “prohibit the access of a pornographic or other explicit website from a federal computer.”You might think that this is the sort of thing that wouldn’t require legislation. Most federal employees would simply understand that while the public (their employer) expects a certain amount of loafing and a lot of make-work activity from federal employees, there is a limit. And if a worker doesn’t understand, then a supervisor somewhere will, of course, make things clear. “Find another way to waste taxpayer money, or you’re fired.”
You might think that, but you would be wrong. Meadows’ proposed legislation, it seems, was inspired by the case of:… an Environmental Protection Agency employee … found to have spent an average of two-to-six hours per day watching pornography at work.Seems that, four months later, in the absence of legislation and ordinary common sense:
... the employee -- who also stored more than 7,000 pornographic files on an agency server -- has not been fired … EPA has placed the chronic porn watcher -- who confessed to his habit after an inspector general office investigator walked in on the employee “actively viewing porn on his government-issue computer” -- on administrative leave, meaning he is not working but still receiving his paycheck.Idle question: What exactly did he do on the rest of his workday to keep our environment clean and safe?
