Calmes: All tricks, no treats for midterm election workers | By Andrew Prokop
The New York Times | December 16, 2014
Tens of thousands of workers at the headquarters of the Senate and House of Representatives were told yesterday afternoon that their jobs for the 2018 midterm elections might not exist.
The announcement left workers stunned, some crying, even though most will not be replaced for the elections.
In Washington. They were made of sterner stuff.
