"They protect our health and safety, come up with innovative ways to benefit our country, and provide critical continuity across presidential administrations," Max Stier, president of the Partnership for Public Service, stated. This shows the crucial role federal employees play regardless of political climates.
"I think Schedule F would be a terrible upending of that tradition of professionalism and merit," Stier said in his interview, emphasizing the risk political loyalty poses to a professional civil service.
The Sammies honor feds, and by extension, the federal workforce, who make America better in many important ways. Their recognition underscores the significant contributions made by civil servants.
Stier pointed out, "The fact that we have 4,000 political appointees... is a vestige of the spoils system," indicating a need for reform in political appointments.
