I don't know what you are getting for $100,000, I don't know the construction practices that are being used for $100,000.

And I have told you, Ms. Gokee and Mr. Montano, I want to make sure this money was spent well.

So if the Congress asks for documentation about a grant and a tribe doesn't give the Congress that information, does it just hurt that tribe or does it hurt all of our tribes?

I want to know if you are going to answer my last question, which was to you and to Ms. Gokee, will you provide me the documentation in regard to how this money was spent, specifically, show the receipts, show the invoices?

I look forward to moving forward with regard to far more transparency, which Ms. Gokee has committed to, and I know that the tribal government has as well.

Let me see if those of us who believe in tribal self-determination, the issues that we have heard about down at the other end of the table should be resolved within the tribe, rather than spilling over either to HUD or, even worse, to…

So it has gone from 8 to now 21 homes.

I have answered the call that tribal members had to fight for their homes, to fight for their health.

how are these dollars being spent? Well, we believe that they are not being properly spent, especially to address these issues.

Because this is about people, this is about families, this is about children; and that is not partisan, that's American.

But if it was only $60,000, which was at the high end, there are a lot more homes that we could remediate and a lot more children who wouldn't be living in a home that is full of mold, which is my concern.

We get a lot of stories that come our way, but stories from one specific proxy advisory firm, ISS, we got one that came in that said, we heard this is the ISS calling one of the companies.

Since 2011, the SEC staffers have spent 7,196 hours at the cost of $1.1 million solely to write the pay ratio rule.

It is outrageous and I think this is, per your testimony, ripe for reform.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to welcome the panel. Thank you all for being here today.

We introduced this in the last Congress. Congressman Carney, now Governor Carney, and I worked closely together on this proposal.

We hope that we will get good movement not just here in the House but also in the Senate.

I don't believe you have the authority, Madam Chair.

The real change has been we have a new President in the White House.

I want you to do a good job, but from the feedback that we get, the involvement that the Fed has in our corporate boardrooms has far surpassed I think the vision that any of us had in this room.

This debate oftentimes can become confusing because banking law is confusing. We hear both sides take different positions on the Financial CHOICE Act and on Dodd-Frank, but I think the way you cut to the fat about whether Dodd-Frank was…

They voted with their money, and they gave most of their money, Mr. Wallison, to whom? Do you know?

Dodd-Frank protects him?

Well, Dodd-Frank is looking out for the little guy, and the previous system we used to have was to the benefit of the big guy.

So this argument that Dodd-Frank helps the little guy and hurts the big guy is absolutely false.
