Amodei: House Congressional Oversight is Alive and Well

Statement

Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) today released the following statement after the House passed H.R. 5485, the Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Bill, legislation providing funding for the Treasury Department, the Judiciary, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Small Business Administration, and several other agencies:

"Every day, I'm asked, "Why don't you do something?' This bill "does something' by removing funding from executive agencies that have become political tools of the Administration," said Congressman Amodei. "Specifically, this legislation invests wisely in the critical programs and agencies we need to enforce our laws and help small businesses, while targeting agencies with a proven track record of misconduct. Congress has an obligation to provide proper oversight when it comes to the management of taxpayer dollars, and as a member of the House Appropriations Committee, this is a responsibility I take very seriously.
