House Budget Committee Chairman John Kasich wants you to use the world wide web to tell the committee about it. It s time to clean out the cobwebs in government programs, said Kasich, and that means rooting out the waste, the fraud and the mismanagement that all too often squander hard-earned tax dollars. The first step is to identify examples, and that s where ordinary Americans can help. We ve established a specific site on the House Budget Committee home page on the web that allows anyone with a computer to tell us what they know about government spending gone bad.
Individuals can simply follow the instructions to send their examples.
We re already using government audits, reports and findings from Inspectors General to document waste. First-hand reports from taxpayers will help us gather even more information. Although it certainly makes it easier if additional information is needed, people who write will not have to leave their names if they don t wish to, said Kasich. We ll do everything we can to ensure submissions remain confidential. Kasich added that individuals who don t have access to computers can still submit information by regular mail.
