Where Jude stands

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Waste of taxpayer dollars should be investigated. When government programs fail to meet the needs they should be examined. I support the independent Congressional Budget Office and General Accounting Office in their important work. When you have a criminal justice system, such as we have in Hennepin County, where the County Attorney has misused her office at the expense of crime victims there should be an inquiry. It is the proper role of Congress to hold the members and other branches of Government accountable to the taxpayer.
