Last night, the U.S. House passed the Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act, bipartisan legislation introduced by Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) and Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA). The act mandates public disclosure of taxpayer-funded projects that exceed $1 billion over budget or are delayed by five years or more. This disclosure will include explanations for delays and cost overruns, as well as identification of contractors involved.
