SCHAKOWSKY FIGHTS MORE FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT AT THE PENTAGON

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) today said, "Even though the Defense Department is responsible for half of the total discretionary spending of the federal government, over $300 billion, they don't have enough respect for the American public to keep a clean set of books. This is Enron accounting, ten times worse." Schakowsky is the ranking member on the Government Efficiency Subcommittee, which held a hearing today on Department of Defense financial mismanagement.

Below is Schakowsky's full subcommittee hearing:

SCHAKOWSKY CONTINUES FIGHT FOR FAIR & EQUITABLE IMMIGRATION LAWS

FOUR-MONTH 245(I) EXTENSION IS A START, BUT NOT ENOUGH

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) today said that unless Congress acts to pass a permanent extension of Section 254(i) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act, law abiding, hard working and taxpaying residents could face deportation. By permanently extending this provision, immigrants who have been in the United States for years and who meet certain conditions, would be allowed to apply for legal status while remaining in the United States with their families.
