Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act
The House debated H.R. 1722, the Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act, which would require federal agencies to report each year on projects that are more than five years behind schedule or at least $1 billion over their original cost estimates, with the Office of Management and Budget compiling the information into an annual public report to Congress. Members speaking in favor, including Republicans Eric Burlison and Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Democrat Suhas Subramanyam, said the bill would help Congress and taxpayers track delayed and over-budget projects and cut waste, and Miller-Meeks noted Senator Joni Ernst is leading the companion bill in the Senate. Speakers described the measure as bipartisan and urged its passage.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
