(06/08/2026) -- Today, Congressman Burchett’s (TN-02) bill, the Government Audit and Accountability of Federally Funded State-Administered Programs Act, passed the US House of Representatives. The bill, co-led with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), will establish a program in the office of the Comptroller General (GAO) to produce a recurring assessment of federally funded State-administered programs. This assessment will identify programs and administrative practices most vulnerable to the abuse of federal tax dollars. “I’m tired of turning on the TV and seeing the misuse of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars,” said Congressman Burchett. “As trillions of taxpayer dollars flow to state and local governments, every dollar must be safeguarded against waste, fraud, and abuse. Congress has a responsibility to conduct rigorous oversight, track how these funds are spent, and ensure taxpayer dollars are being used efficiently and as intended.” To watch Congressman Burchett’s committee remarks, click HERE ### | 1 | 2026-06-27T21:44:12Z | 2026-06-27T22:11:26Z |
