A slew of agencies would receive new directives to make their services more accessible to Americans under a bill from a pair of House Democrats, who said the government is wasting taxpayers’ money and time.
The Trust in Government Act would provide specific instructions to more than a half dozen agencies to operate more efficiently or reduce hurdles for their constituents. The bill was put forward by Reps. Katie Porter, D-Calif., and Gerry Connolly, D-Va., signaling the priorities for the potential new Democratic leaders of the House Oversight and Reform Committee in the next Congress.
