Mariannette Miller-Meeks to increase transparency and accountability for taxpayer-funded federal projects that are significantly over budget or behind schedule.\n\n\u201cOur bill is a sensible, bipartisan measure to do what DOGE and Elon Musk failed to\u2014hold the federal government accountable for projects that are way behind schedule and over budget,\u201d said Rep.
