At WashingtonExaminer.com, Michal Conger has this story:
"The federal government owns or leases about 400,000 buildings, almost 100,000 of which are vacant or underused.

'I think everyone in this room can agree that this is an egregious example of taxpayer waste that must be rectified,' said Rep. Gerald Connolly, D-Va."
