House Ethics Crisis Casts Shadow on Healthcare Reform
Washington, DC,
September 8, 2009
House Ethics Crisis Casts Shadow on Healthcare Reform While Democrats continue their plan for a federal takeover of the nation's healthcare industry, new revelations show they are incapable of effectively managing even their own Members in the U.S. House of Representatives. House Republican Conference Secretary John Carter (TX-31) and other GOP Members will go the floor of the House on CSPAN tonight to demand House ethics action against the obvious double-standard IRS treatment of House Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) and U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. New reports over August revealed Rangel's previous tax evasion problems now under investigation by the Ethics Committee are just the tip of long-standing failures to report income to the IRS or under House disclosure rules, prompting prominent daily newspapers nationwide to demand his resignation. WHO: House Republican Conference Secretary John Carter and other House Members WHAT: Rangel and Geithner Tax Evasion WHEN: Tonight, estimated 8:45 Eastern (7:45 Central) start time WHERE: CSAN Live Coverage, U.S. House of Representatives
