Treasury Secretary Jack Lew Defends Bonuses For IRS Employees, Calls For Additional Funding
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew not only defended the granting of bonuses to IRS employees Wednesday before the Senate Finance committee, he said there was not a proper level of funding for the agency to “do everything that we really need them to do.”
Under questioning from Sen. John Thune (R., S.D.) over the agency’s targeting of conservative groups and concern that employees involved were still granted bonuses, Lew said there were no signs of political interference in any of his department’s reviews.
“I think that the policy on compensation for the IRS broadly has to reflect the fact that we have an enormous number of people who are tireless, hardworking public servants who do a fine job under very difficult circumstances,” Lew said. “And we’re not seeing the level of funding for the IRS to make it possible for them to do everything that we really need them to do. In that world, making sure that we have proper compensation and fair compensation is an important thing.”
“I just think it’s awfully hard to justify to the American people an agency that has been so – whose credibility has been so badly damaged that somehow you can pay out bonuses,” Thune said.
