Dear PFAW Member,
The latest coronavirus spending package included $500 billion dollars in loans and grants to businesses. We need to make sure this money is used for strategic investments to jumpstart the economy, NOT a blank check for the Trump administration to line the wallets of big corporations.
Sign our petition demanding bipartisan oversight of money going to big business!>>
Democrats fought hard to make sure that these coronavirus relief packages not only include provisions to support hard-working Americans who will bear the brunt of economic instability, but also regulations and oversight for the money going to bail out various industries. Absolutely central to this oversight is the appointment, by Congress, of an independent Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery.
But now, even after signing the legislation into law, President Trump has released a statement that his office does not have to respect the authority of Congress to oversee the appointment of Special Inspector General! This is unacceptable.
Secretary of the Treasury, Steve Mnuchin, must protect the integrity of the Special Inspector General. Administration of the law is not optional especially when there is $500 billion of taxpayer funds on the line.
Thank you for doing your part to ensure that this money isn't a blank check for corporations.
Wishing you and your family safety and health,
Charlie, PFAW
