Foxx Wants Reports Online

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx joined a bipartisan group of Representatives that is calling on Congress to post all major legislation and conference reports online for 72 hours before the House takes a vote. In a released statement, Foxx said, "Congress has a duty to give Americans a chance to review and comment on legislation, but when important and controversial legislation is passed only hours after the final bill text is available, average citizens are shut out of the process. The House is scheduled to vote on legislation that spends $33.5 billion-and the final legislation was only made available after last night.  Posting legislation online for 72 hours is a common-sense step Congress can take to make our proceedings more open and transparent."
