Representative Miller-Meeks understands how wasteful spending hurts Iowa taxpayers. That's why she's sounding he alarm on federal projects that run billions over budget or fall years behind schedule.
Taxpayers deserve to know when a federal project is more than $1 billion over budget or more than five years behind schedule.
The bipartisan Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act would require federal agencies to publicly disclose these troubled projects and explain their added costs and delays.
Bringing this information into the open is the first step toward ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and responsibly.
Iowans carefully manage their budgets, and Representative Miller-Meeks believes Washington should be held to the same standard.
Greater transparency will give taxpayers and lawmakers the information they need to identify waste, demand answers and prevent costly government failures from continuing unchecked.
Representative Miller-Meeks helped lead the Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act through the House, moving this important accountability measure 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.
