WASHINGTON The Trump administrations mass layoffs of federal workers have slowed the governments ability to permit some new energy projects in a potential setback to President Donald Trumps ‘drill baby drill agenda according to state officials lawmakers and agency representatives interviewed by Reuters. The situation reflects one of the unintended consequences of the spate of firings spearheaded by Elon Musks Department of Government Efficiency which are intended to slash wasteful public spending but current and former officials say are running counter to Trumps vow to expand production of everything from oil and gas to power generation and electric transmission. That strategy was partly detailed in a series of executive orders signed by the president to open vast new areas of Alaska and offshore for new drilling.

Question: Are ride-share drivers required to pay GET in Hawaii? Most drivers that have picked me up stated they dont have a GET license and dont pay GET.
