Weekly Column from U.S. Senator Rob Portman (OH)

Every citizen should be treated fairly without regard to associations, connections, status or political party. ~ Sadly, however, the shadow of unfair treatment hangs over what happened to the hard-working salaried retirees of the auto parts company Delphi as part of the bailout of its former parent General Motors.

Obama Administration Should Honor Its Pledge to be Open and Transparent
2012-10-04 | Washington, DC
Today, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) called on the White House and the Department of Treasury to turn over all records associated with the decision to top off pensions for Delphi’s union beneficiaries while terminating its non-union pensions without additional funding. Camp made the request after the White House and Treasury were caught withholding documents from Congress. In giving until October 12 to turn over all materials, Camp reminded the Administration that the President had once promised to run the most “transparent and open” Administration ever.
