House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Evaluates Consequences of Biden-Harris Administration Policies

On Sept. 19, the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability held a hearing "A Legacy of Incompetence: Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Policy Failures - United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability." Ahead of the hearing, ABC sent a letter expressing concern the administration is continuing to issue rulemakings and executive orders that peel away worker freedoms, disrupt free markets and tilt the playing field in favor of the few at the expense of all Americans. Specifically, ABC noted how the administration is raising costs for taxpayers by discouraging competition from quality nonunion contractors and their employees, who comprise 89.3% of the private U.S. construction industry workforce.
