At the same time Dems are considering hardball tactics to get health care legislation over its final hurdles, Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office is urging members to tout "sunshine" rules that promote government accountability.
Today, the House takes up a measure requiring federal agencies to
use simple language in writing official documents; a proposal to ensure
e-mails are preserved by federal archivists; and a bill that would
require members to use the money left in their annual office accounts
to pay down the debt.
The good-government proposals come as GOPers cry foul over Pelosi's
suggestion the majority could use so-called "deem and pass" measures to
force the Senate health care bill through the House without an actual
vote.
