Message From Mosaic Federal Affairs
Openness in the Legislative Process

110th Congress House and Senate Rules calls for openness in the legislative process including language, which requires that sponsors of individual projects and narrowly targeted provisions be identified in all spending, authorizing and tax legislation. Additionally "Pay-as-you-go" budget rules require offsets for any new entitlement spending or tax cuts.

House members will have to provide a justification for each earmark and certify that neither they nor their spouses would benefit.

Mosaic Federal Affairs LLC has always and proudly asked our legislative sponsors to do just so.

Mosaic has always has and always will very publicly make our cases by addressing each individual project's merits and the associated public good.

Finally, and even when not required, Mosaic has always filed and always will file clearly defined Background Information Outlines (BIOs) for every appropriation project reiterating public benefit justification, responsible and accountable entities and whenever extent, the associated authorization for appropriations.

We think legislative openness is a good, fair idea. No wonder, it's the same standard Mosaic has always used and always will use.

Thanks for your continued special trust and confidence as we begin our third decade of helping our constituent clients achieve their goals via the authorizations for appropriations and the appropriations process, as designed in the U.S. Constitution!
