And Frontpage Mag says the swamp hates it.
A time-tested political gambit is moving new public services to areas in which a party needs support, but rarely does a politician move an existing service.
Flashback to the 80’s when Grant Devine started the Fair Share Saskatchewan program. This seems to be a similar program, but for very different reasons.
Devine wanted to shore up his support among the rural constituencies and diffuse the strangle-hold the NDP and public sector unions had on Regina. His public motivation for the program was to help support the economies of rural Saskatchewan. The voters saw it as punitive because he went whole hog on the public service and it was a factor in the PC’s losing the election. Romanow killed it almost immediately on taking office.
Trump isn’t doing that. He’s moving one department closer to the people the public servants are there to support. It’s one thing to move the Saskatchewan Dept. of Agriculture from Regina, surrounded by farms to Kindersley, surrounded by farms than it is to move it from the east coast of the US to Kansas where it’ll be surrounded by farms.
