Lawmakers Rejected Bankers Donations Amid Panel Waste Report
Washington lawmakers report $75 million yearly funds 3,200 advisory panels, many meaningless or duplicative. The House Government Operations Committee warns that some panels lack guidelines and meet rarely, with Cabinet members serving on multiple interagency groups, reducing effectiveness. The investigation notes 18 lawmakers refused or never cashed Bankers Political Action Committee donations, while others accepted amounts from 1,000 to 5,000 dollars. Multiple local accidents in Hope, including a 7 11 store crash when brakes allegedly failed, caused property damage but no injuries.
