Washington Post: Much of the announced cuts seem like no-brainers — mostly savings on travel, office equipment and redundancy. The Agriculture Department will move 1,500 employees from seven leased spaces into one facility by 2011, saving $62 million over a 15-year lease. The Education Department will trim $2 million by issuing most employees only one laptop computer, instead of also assigning them a desktop for their office. In a blow to the newspaper industry, the U.S. Attorneys and the U.S. Marshals Offices’ Asset Forfeiture program will stop publishing judicial forfeiture notices in print and will do so online only, saving $6.7 million over the first five years of the move.
