(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) said it is “deeply disturbing” that the Transportation Security Administration would seal a $50-million deal for new uniforms just days before the sequester took effect.

“I find it deeply disturbing that as Secretary [Janet] Napolitano is running around scaring people by saying she is going to have to furlough employees because of sequester, that she would also spend $50 million of taxpayer money on new uniforms,” Blackburn said in a statement Wednesday.
“This is a classic failure in leadership,” she said.

“DHS has the flexibility it needs in the sequester to cut waste, fraud, and abuse from its budget,” Blackburn said. “Instead, Secretary Napolitano is making the active decision to furlough personnel and is trying to manufacture a scenario where passengers have to wait in longer lines.”
