Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I met last week with a couple of small business owners in Butte, Montana, who have been the target of an out- of-control Federal bureaucrat in the Food Safety and Inspection Service. One of the bureaucrat's targets is Riley's Meats. Over a period of 12 years, Dr. Jeffrey Legg with the FSIS ordered Bart Riley to comply with what he told Riley were Federal regulations. Mr. Riley spent over $10,000 in compliance costs and suffered years of harassment, but these weren't real Federal regulations. They were costly measures dreamed up by this bureaucrat. I saw the toll that dealing with this government harassment has taken on the Riley family over the last decade. No one should have to endure such a nightmare. Stories like these are why the American people demand that Washington is cleaned up. For the Riley family and other Montanans dealing with Federal overreach, I will continue to focus on this issue until it is resolved. ____________________”
