BONO MACK: OVERSIGHT CRITICAL FOR ECONOMIC RESCUE
Urges key oversight positions to be filled
Washington,
Nov 14 -
Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack today urged Congressional leadership and the Treasury Department to comply with transparency and oversight standards in carrying out last month’s economic relief legislation. Emphasizing that America’s taxpayers deserve to have confidence in how the federal government is allocating funds as a part of this program, Bono Mack sent letters urging that the requirements mandated in the economic rescue legislation are adhered to, including filling positions on the Financial Stability Oversight Board, appointing members to a Congressional Oversight Panel and facilitating market transparency,.
“America’s taxpayers deserve to know that their hard-earned money is being used appropriately and responsibly,” said Bono Mack. “It is alarming that even as this economic crisis continues to threaten America’s families and the stability of our markets, key oversight positions remain unfilled. The American people deserve better.”
“I urge swift compliance with the oversight and transparency standards mandated in the economic rescue legislation, ensuring meaningful protection of taxpayers and keeping Americans fully informed regarding the use of tax dollars.”
