Commerce department faltering in watchdog rule
Ohio lawmakers from both parties seek to restore regulatory functions within the commerce department after funding cuts and safety concerns. They blame budget reductions for delays in overseeing financial institutions and fire marshal investigations into arson cases. Democrats push transferring consumer protection to the attorney general. Republicans threaten a veto if the move persists. The House faces pressure as lawmakers rally cosponsors to challenge the agency’s budget and governance.
