GPO Facing Formidable Challenges
"Until the laws change, he's going to follow the law," says Sherman.
A lot is at stake for GPO. Since half of its in-house printing is executive branch work, if it were all to be taken away, the cost of the remaining congressional work would increase substantially.
Not Much Of A Reward
The OMB proposal is hardly a deserved payback to GPO for all the cost cutting measures it has undertaken over the past decade. During DiMario's term, staffing levels were decreased by 35 percent, bookstores were closed, union wage contracts were ironed out and more efficient equipment was added. In addition, GPO ranked number one in last month's IPG Top 50, its fifth consecutive year in the top spot.
