Henry Waxman: “The bill would even overturn recent reforms made by EPA to enhance transparency.”

The Federal Government would maintain its commitment to sharing the costs of providing basic healthcare and long-term coverage to vulnerable Americans.

Mr. Chairman, too much dirty politics is waged with dark money, the secrecy is protected by no privilege, and a little sunlight would be very healthy for American democracy.

I think of how Henry Waxman showed America the true face of the tobacco industry, exposing decades of deceit.

I hope this committee will initiate a detailed investigation examining this network of front groups and trade associations, determine who funds them and expose how they coordinate with industry.
