FDA Boosts Bonuses Despite Ongoing Criticism From Hill

The Food and Drug Administration increased bonuses to its employees by 29 percent in the past year, despite earlier objections from lawmakers.

The FDA paid $35 million in staff incentives for the year ending April 12, up from $27.1 million a year earlier, according to records posted on the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Web site.

Lawmakers complained last year that the FDA was issuing too many bonuses, especially to high-ranking officials. The increase shown in the latest records, provided by the FDA, prompted objections by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), chairman of the panel's investigative subcommittee.
