Update: Creekview High School of Canton, GA wins gold at the International Rocketry Challenge!
Rep. Loudermilk has been following Creekview’s tremendous success for some time now. Earlier this year Creekview beat out 799 other teams in the national competition which allowed them to represent the USA in the international competition outside of London.
Part of the competition is to launch a raw hen’s egg 800 feet and return it to earth safely within 43 seconds. The presentation aspect requires each team to describe their rocket and design to a panel of international aerospace experts. Creekview placed first in both the presentation and in the rocket launch.
On behalf of Rep. Loudermilk and Georgia’s 11th Congressional District, Creekview, you have made America proud!

In the News: Firing a Bad Federal Employee May Get a Little Easier
|
|
| |
From the Daily Signal:
Holding federal employees accountable is essentially impossible. They have the highest job security of any sector of the economy. In fact, out of a federal non-military workforce of 2.1 million, only 11,046 persons—or 0.5 percent—were fired in 2017.
One reason for this is the cumbersome process managers must endure to fire a single employee. Multiple appeals involving as many as four separate agencies, as well as union representatives, are not uncommon. This process can last years even in the most cut-and-dry cases.
