What members said about it
-
Instead of voting on a bipartisan bill -- the HONEST Act (S.1498) -- which would actually ban stock trading and ownership by members of Congress, the president, and the vice president, Senate Republicans are cynically teeing up a farcical…
“Public officials should not trade individual stocks and should not personally benefit from their access to sensitive information. Congress should work for the people’s interests, not their own financial interests. Instead of restoring trust in the government, this Republican sham would further erode it.”
