This man runs a federal agency near Washington — from his home in Dallas
By Robert O'Harrow Jr. and Andrew Ba Tran | May 11 at 4:46 PM

The man named by President Trump last year to oversee regulation of the nation’s $1.4 trillion credit union industry has taken a novel approach to the agency he leads. Instead of going to his office near Washington every day, J. Mark McWatters works from his home.

In Dallas.

McWatters, whose salary as chairman of the National Credit Union Administration board is $165,300, may be the federal government’s most unlikely telecommuter.

The arrangement adds a wrinkle to the tendency among some Trump administration officials to spurn traditional government norms. An NCUA spokesman confirmed a Washington Post finding that McWatters works from Dallas and declined to say how often he travels to the headquarters in Alexandria, Va., where more than 400 of the agency’s 1,200 employees are based.

2. Hey, is he running the Palin scam of billing the taxpayers extra to work from home?

I've heard that's a bad thing.....
