Saves taxpayers $33 million over the next five years

Rep. Andy Harris voted today in support of H.R. 672, which would eliminate the Election Assistance Commission (EAC). Eliminating the EAC would save taxpayers $33 million over the next five years, according to the Committee on House Administration.

"In a time of deep fiscal crisis, we have to eliminate out-of-date and inefficient government agencies," said Rep. Andy Harris. "The Election Assistance Commission is no longer necessary, and we cannot afford to waste another dime of taxpayer money on an obsolete federal agency."
