Representative Miller-Meeks is working to shine a light on federal projects that waste taxpayer dollars through massive cost overruns and years of delays.
A federal project that runs more than $1 billion over budget or falls more than five years behind schedule should not escape public scrutiny.
The bipartisan Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act would require federal agencies to publicly disclose these troubled projects and explain their added costs and delays.
Iowans carefully manage their budgets, and Representative Miller-Meeks believes Washington should be held to the same standard.
By bringing costly government failures into the open, the bill would give taxpayers and lawmakers the information to demand greater accountability.
Representative Miller-Meeks helped lead the Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act through the House, moving the legislation closer to becoming law.
Her efforts are helping ensure taxpayers can see when federal projects spiral over budget, fall behind schedule and fail to deliver as promised.
