Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is throwing her support behind Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ proposal to put the USDA’s South Building on the market. The Republican senator criticized the previous administration’s handling of the property, stating “The previous administration’s USDA denied their ghost town, but Secretary Rollins took action on this.”
According to Ernst, the Department of Agriculture no longer requires the South Building, describing it as predominantly unoccupied. The Iowa lawmaker argues that disposing of the underutilized federal property makes fiscal sense for taxpayers.
