Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) plans to have his future subcommittee chairs — Reps. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), Patrick McHenry (R-NC) and Jim Jordan (R-OH), among others — to hold one or two hearings a week each, for a total of seven hearings a week during a 40-week period. Chaffetz, the current ranking member of the subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, Post Office, and the District of Columbia, told TPMmuckraker that he’s up for that challenge.“It’ll be a brisk pace, but in the majority, you’re given more resources.
