The Problems of Consolidating Offices and Agencies

It's easy for the big shots in Washington, and the public in general, to demand efficiencies in government. One of the things the GHW Bush administration started, and the Clinton administration continued, and I guess the current administration is pursuing, is having USDA offices in the same building. But it's more complicated than just waving a wand, as this article
