Georgia’s two U.S. senators and a metro Atlanta congressman are calling on federal officials to allow employees at an Internal Revenue Service campus in Chamblee to work remotely while the agency addresses what they describe as an ongoing rat and cockroach infestation.
In a letter sent to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank Bisignano, Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, joined by Rep. Hank Johnson, urged the agency to consider temporarily closing the IRS Atlanta Campus and allowing employees to telework during the cleanup process.
“I’m appalled and disgusted by the working conditions that IRS employees at the Atlanta campus currently face,” Warnock said in a statement released Wednesday. “Every employee should feel safe and comfortable in their working environment, and that’s just not the case right now at the IRS Atlanta campus.”
