Impact analysis
Taxpayers are questioning if they're getting full value for their money when one official is splitting their focus between two separate government roles.
The individual holding both positions benefits from the dual salary and the consolidation of political influence.
The public might be getting the short end of the stick if these massive responsibilities lead to burnout or divided loyalties.
