Jefferson Leaves Small Business Panel

Posted by: admin

Congressional representative William Jefferson (D-LA) sent a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, advising her of his intent to step down from his only committee assignment, a position on the Small Business panel. This decision stems from Jefferson’s indictment Monday on 16 criminal counts, ranging from racketeering to money laundering.  Read the full article here.

Ms. Pelosi, need I remind you of your New Direction?

“In order to achieve a new America, we must return this House to the American people. So our first order of business is passing the toughest ethics reform in history. This new Congress doesn’t have two years of 100 days to renew itself.” 

Ms. Pelosi, it’s time to clean the windows of your glass House.
