Rep. Shri Thanedar says "If Congress can't pass a budget, Congress shouldn't get paid"
Washington, DC - September 21, 2023 - Today, Rep. Shri Thanedar (MI-13), is proud to stand as an original co-sponsor of the recently introduced "No Budget, No Pay Act," led by Rep. Wiley Nickel (NC-13). This critical legislation aims to hold members of Congress accountable for their fiscal responsibilities by tying their pay to the timely passage of key fiscal legislation.
"At the heart of our responsibilities as representatives is the duty to manage our nation's finances diligently,” said Rep. Shri Thanedar. “If we cannot come together to pass a budget and appropriations bills, it's only right that we feel the direct consequences in our paychecks. We must hold ourselves accountable to the same standards we set for our constituents."
Rep. Shri Thanedar invites all Michiganders and Americans to support this essential legislation, which seeks to uphold the principles of accountability and responsible fiscal management in Congress.
