WASHINGTON
 â U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, R-La., Wednesday delivered a speech on the Senate floor expressing incredible frustration with federal agency employees that have been paid, but not working for the past year.
The speech highlighted Lake Charles, Louisiana veteran Albert Duplantis and his year-long struggle to receive paperwork from the National Personnel Records Center required to obtain medical attention to treat his heart condition.
âWeâre over one year into the pandemic and theyâre still not processing records. Bureaucrats are sitting at home collecting a paycheck without working. This is unacceptable, with vaccines widely available, there is no excuse this mandatory work is not being done. If you arenât willing to do your job, you shouldnât have the job. These great Americans were willing to go to war for our freedom, but federal employees wonât go into the office to file paperwork. Meanwhile veterans like Mr. Duplantis
