Texas Congressman Presents Bill To Take Away Holders Salary
Playing politics can be so much fun! | Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, has introduced a bill that would officially stop paying any federal employee who was currently held in contempt of Congress.
Farenthold specifically mentioned Attorney General Eric Holder after introducing the legislation in the House of Representatives, insisting that he should not receive a paycheck after failing to turn over documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal.
"The American people should not be footing the bill for federal employees who stonewall Congress or rewarding government officials' bad behavior," Farenthold said in a statement. "If the average American failed to do his or her job, he or she would hardly be rewarded. High-ranking government officials should be treated no differently than everyone else."
I dunno, Laficornia state senators can be convicted for felonies and still get a paycheck... | Farenthold's aggressive effort against Holder is not surprising. During a Congressional hearing with the Attorney General last week, Farenthold told Holder that he felt that he shouldn't even be allowed in congress.
