Diaz-Balart on Waste in Courthouse Program

U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management Subcommittee Ranking Member, calls the more than $800 million in tax dollars wasted on unnecessary courthouse construction an appalling example of government waste and mismanagement.

A Subcommittee hearing received testimony from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), which is working to finalize a report on the multibillion-dollar courthouse construction initiative of the federal judiciary and the General Services Administration (GSA).

Mr Diaz-Balart parrots the GAO Report in an inappropriate and condescending manner. The report in my expert opinion was incendiary and lacked insight. It is clear that Diaz-Balart does not have the professional background to make a thoughtful and informed analysis. He does have a dramatic flair which he uses to lambast the GSA and the Judiciary unfairly. This sort of uninformed grandstanding is exactly what I, as a taxpayer, despise most about Congress.
