When U.S. Rep. Mac Collins decided to cast a net for government waste, he decided that the best net would be an “internet.”

You can report examples of government waste on Collins' web site at http://www.house.gov/maccollins.

“Today I added a new link on my congressional web site so that Americans who want to report waste can do so, using the internet,” Collins announced.

The web site contains links to a site established by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Budget. The site, called “Turn Off Wasteful Government Spending,” invites citizens to submit examples of government waste. “From an $800,000 outhouse in Delaware Gap National Recreational Area, to training illegal aliens how to file fraudulent unemployment insurance claims, we already have examples of government waste that must be curbed,” Collins said.

“The best way to keep government honest is to keep the eyes of the citizens open for fraud and waste,” Collins added. “A nation of vigilant and concerned citizens is more effective than an army of inspectors.”
