WASHINGTON, DC - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today released the following statement after Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) introduced a resolution “condemning and censuring" Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner John Koskinen:
“Instead of taking real action on critical issues that involve the security and wellbeing of Americans - like fully funding the Zika prevention efforts, or providing our troops with adequate resources to keep us safe, or helping the people of Flint regain access to safe drinking water, or considering a budget that meets the needs of the American people - House Republicans are busy engaging in political witch hunts. The Benghazi Committee, the Select Committee to attack women’s health, and now further personal attacks on the IRS Commissioner - these are all attempts to distract the American people from the fact that Republicans aren’t doing their job. Republicans need to stop the political madness and get serious about doing the hard work of legislating."
