A group of 10 House Republicans helped Democrats sink a bill that would have forced Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to report his flight records on government-owned jets.
The bill — introduced by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., as an amendment to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization legislation — was defeated in a narrow 219-216 vote late Wednesday. According to the roll call, 10 Republicans voted against
(snip) "We are disappointed that Representative Miller’s important amendment failed," Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director for watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT), told Fox News Digital. "After Secretary Buttigieg was caught excessively using a taxpayer-funded private jet, his department doubled-down and is refusing to release the true cost of these flights."
"That’s why we’re suing the FAA, because it is the right of the American people to have these records and they deserve transparency," she added.

Always more power to the Centralized Govt.
As predictable as the sun rising in the east, Brian FitzRINOpatrick voted against the bill. Worthless POS.
What crap. The uniparty RINO’s strike again.
That says a lot! As usual, the a** kissers are RINOS who are probably just as guilty as anyone.
These same RINOs will work to see that President Trump is not elected to a 2nd Presidential term.
They’d go so far as to defect to the democrat party if he became elected.
Government of the elites for the elites.
Peasants don’t matter.
No longer a republic...an aristocracy.
“We can’t tip our hand and look bad - we have to support Buttgood because he got 120% of the vote and we can’t question that!”
Just enough GOP traitors to sink the bill. Not a coincidence
Kakistocracy.
“..... 10 House Republicans helped Democrats sink a bill...”
I am shocked. Actually shocked, that only 10 Republicans voted with the Ruling Party.
I suspect the Uniparty did a vote count and had the 10 Uniparty members in the safest seats vote with their bosses.
When folks realize the establishment is both parties maybe things will change. But not 1 second before
.
That’s the old trick, once it’s defeated, they Vote for it and publicize their Votes.
.
Who are the 10 in need of Primarying?
Keep electing these folks, everyone.
Next election, even if they have no challenger, don’t vote for them.
All they think of the voters is that they are sheep that will do whatever they’re told. And they have been sheep, for years.
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves, R-Mo.
GOP Reps. Troy Balderson, Jack Bergman, Brian Fitzpatrick, Garret Graves, David Joyce, Jennifer Kiggans, Marcus Molinaro and Brandon Williams voted against the amendment
For those who think the Republicans will save our republic....
All travel records and expenses for all cabinet secretaries should be made public.
