Senator Collins Wants To Keep Field Offices Open

     Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) has authored an op ed for a Maine newspaper opposing office closings and the elimination of face to face contact at Social Security. However, she doesn't say anything about additional appropriations for the agency. Reading the piece, you get the impression that the only problem is foolish decisions made at the Social Security Administration. Republicans either actively deny that there's a link between appropriations and agency operations or they just ignore the issue altogether.
