This is why we voted for them:
An angry Rep. Rosa DeLauro, fed up with what she sees as a Food and Drug Administration reluctant to act quickly and effectively to protect consumers, threatened today to withhold salaries from top FDA officials unless they became more vigilant.
DeLauro, D-3rd District, chairs the House panel that writes the FDA budget, and she said she would “zero out” management pay beginning in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 if she does not see progress soon.
“There is a pervasive pattern of failure at the FDA,” she charged.
