Last week, Congressman French Hill (AR-2) joined 51 of his colleagues on a letter calling for the resignation of Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) Commissioner John Koskinen. After signing onto the letter, Congressman Hill released the following statement: “Under the leadership of Commissioner Koskinen, the IRS has continuously misled the American people and obstructed Congress in its investigations about the targeting of taxpayers on the basis of their political beliefs. Private citizens should not fear discrimination from government, especially by an entity as powerful as the IRS. Instead of tirelessly working to reform the agency, the Commissioner has worked tirelessly to protect the reputations of those who oversaw these misconducts. It is time he resigns and is replaced with someone who is serious about restoring the people’s trust in their government.” ### |
