“The Help Hoover Dam Act will cut through federal red tape and free tens of millions of dollars in long-stranded funding for Hoover Dam improvement projects. This is government efficiency,” said Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03), lead House sponsor of the Help Hoover Dam Act. “Our bill is about keeping energy prices from going up, protecting our natural resources, and saving taxpayers money.”

“This is government efficiency,” Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev., the lead sponsor of the House bill introduced Thursday, said in a statement. “Our bill is about keeping energy prices from going up, protecting our natural resources, and saving taxpayers money.”

“It’s all about the transparency and keeping working families from getting nickeled and dimed,” Lee said in a Wednesday phone interview.

"Many times, people will get an email, it might have their banking institution's logo on it. They click on it and they say, 'Your bank card was used for this purchase, please confirm your Social Security number,'" Lee said. "They input their Social Security number, and then that leads to identity theft, and people see that money has been taken from their account."

Today, Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03) joined American Federation of State County Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 4041 members at their Southwest area office for a roundtable to discuss how federal cuts to public services will have a devastating effect on hardworking Nevada families.
