Salmon Drops 3rd Bill as Part of Shrink Our Spending (SOS) Initiative

Statement

Today, Rep. Matt Salmon (AZ-05) announced his third in a series of bills that will be introduced over the next few months to highlight and cut wasteful taxpayer-funded programs government-wide. Upon introduction of his latest bill to eliminate federal funding for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Salmon released the following statement:

"In my quest to continue to cut wasteful spending, my third piece of legislation as part of my SOS Initiative deals with defunding the NLRB, a pro-union organization that can dictate where businesses can locate, expand and spend their capital. U.S. taxpayers already fund the Department of Justice to oversee a wide variety of civil, criminal and administrative labor issues, and with their experience and province, they are certainly capable of handling claims of unfair labor practices. Moreover, they could do so without the pro-big-labor bias and partisanship that is endemic to the NRLB. Congress must start making hard choices now to reduce wasteful spending in our budget instead of continuing to fund duplicative agencies. I am happy to continue to lead this charge."
