Tenney seeks CBO assessment of Build Back Better

November 6, 2021

Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-22, New Hartford, joined nearly three dozen of House Republicans in sending a letter to Phillip Swagel, Director of the Congressional Budget Office seeking a non-partisan assessment of the Build Back Better Act.

The CBO is the agency tasked with reporting on budgetary and economic impacts of proposed legislation.

“(The) CBO is not always right and while I have had concerns with their assessments in the past, it is vitally important for Congress to have all the information before considering far-reaching legislation like this,” said Tenney.
