"We have a problem," Bean said. "[Federal workers] do a large amount of work from home. Which, that's a debate - whether or not they're productive working from home. But if they are working from home, we have between a 6 and 15% occupancy of billions of square foot of commercial buildings that we are spending billions on to upkeep and whatnot. Do we still need that much space if people aren't using their offices?"
Documents given to attendees encouraged lawmakers to think of what kind of DOGE goals would be 'worthwhile lifts,' 'quick wins,' 'lower priority,' and 'low-hanging fruit' and other ways to organize and prioritize initiatives.
The caucus held its first meeting on Tuesday, which lawmakers described to Fox News Digital as largely 'organizational.' DOGE Caucus co-chair Rep. Aaron Bean... said the room was full of interested lawmakers.
Bean said, 'We had 29 sign up to come, so we met in a small conference room. But it was packed - we had over 60 members attend,' indicating significant bipartisan interest in the caucus.
