I certainly hope you will join us in using the full weight of this committee to take a close look at the findings of, and any recommendations from, the Inspectors General.
I remain disappointed that pay disparities among a wide range of classifications occurred at the Bureau as was outlined in a report that the CFPB released on Monday.
I rise with my colleagues to honor the 60th Anniversary of Brown vs. Board of Education, a decision which was a major step toward education equality in the United States, and launched a Civil Rights movement that was a turning point for…
