WGN: Quigley Questions IRS Scandal

The following is a transcription from a WGN story from June 3, 2013.

Steve Sanders, WGN Reporter: U.S. Representative Mike Quigley from Illinois is one of the law makers grilling IRS officials on Capitol Hill again today. The House Ways and Means Committee will be focusing on six conservative groups subjected to special scrutiny and delays. Yesterday, acting IRS Commissioner Daniel Werful testified before law makers calling actions by employees completely inexcusable. The agency has admitted targeting conservative groups seeking tax exempt status at the IRS office in Cincinnati.

Daniel Werfel, Acting IRS Commissioner: Has undermined the public's trust in the IRS ability to administer the tax laws in a fair and impartial manor.

Congressman Quigley: It's hard to shock and awe someone from Chicago, Illinois about scandals. My last two previous governors either went to jail or are in jail. Two of my last four predecessors who were sitting in my seat are in jail or went to jail. So I get it, but this is getting there.

Steve Sanders: The IRS is also under fire for spending millions of dollars for employee conferences. These videos that you see here were shown at one of those conferences.
