6B Daily News – Thursday, July 18, 2013 House panel approves cuts to police hiring grants WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans controlling a House committee moved Wednesday to eliminate funding for a Clinton-era program that helps local governments hire police officers, a step driven by deepening automatic spending cuts that official Washington appears unable to head off. The Community Oriented Policing Services program, known as COPS, has been a resilient survivor of GOP attacks dating back to the party's takeover of Congress in 1995. The program, slated to get $440 million in President Barack Obama's budget, would instead get ''zeroed out'' in a spending bill to fund the Justice Department for the upcoming 2014 budget year. The Appropriations Committee approved the cut as part of a $47 billion measure funding the operating budget for the departments of Justice and State by voice vote. The measure reflects an almost $3 billion cut from levels approved in March. The panel also approved a $17 billion measure that slashes the Internal Revenue Service budget 30 percent below Obama's request. ''Put simply, this budget proposal means fewer critical resources to detect and prevent tax fraud,'' said Nani Coloretti, assistant secretary for management at Treasury. ''And with fewer IRS staff to complete audits, conservative estimates put the resulting revenue loss from the proposed reduction in enforcement capacity at $12 billion per year.'' Democrats, meanwhile, failed in a bid to restore funding to the COPS program, which awards grants to local law enforcement agencies to hire police officers. They said the proposed GOP cuts to the program would mean 1,400 fewer cops on the beat nationwide. But Republicans say the measure simply reflects the reality imposed by automatic budget cuts that took effects earlier this year as a result of Washing- ton's inability to reach a budget accord. Cuts to programs such as police hiring grants enabled the bill's chief author, Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., to avoid cuts to the FBI. At issue are the annual spending bills funding the day-to-day operations of federal agencies. The GOP-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate have sharply different priorities, with the Senate ignoring deep automatic spending cuts and the House promising even more punishing cuts to domestic programs while restoring cuts to the Pentagon. The House is drafting spending bills in line with a $967 billion ''cap'' required by automatic cuts that took effect in March after Washington failed to agree on an alternative mix of tax increases and cuts elsewhere in the $3.5 trillion federal budget. The Senate is writing bills to a $1.058 trillion cap, almost a full 10 percent higher. But the House GOP cuts to domestic programs are greatly magnified by a $41 billion shift from nondefense programs like NASA, education and research on renewable energy to the Pentagon. The House measures approved by the Appropriations panel on Wednesday are laced with painful cuts. While the FBI is exempted, NASA would absorb an almost $1 billion cut below 2013 levels. Spending on federal buildings would be cut $2.4 billion below Obama's request and the U.S. Marshals Service, the federal prison system and the Drug Enforcement Administration would also have to absorb cuts. On Thursday, the counterpart Senate Appropriations Committee is slated to debate a $52 billion version of the Commerce and Justice department spending bill that contains $5 billion above the House version, which allows the panel to provide $394 million for COPS grants. Senate GOP loses leverage to alter consumer agency WASHINGTON (AP) — After a three-year political battle, Republicans have agreed to a remarkable concession over the powers of a new federal agency designed to protect consumers during financial dealings. In confirming the agency's director, GOP lawmakers stripped themselves of any leverage to curb the group's influence over banks, lenders and credit card companies. The confirmation of Richard Cordray as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and his swearing in on Wednesday amounted to a clear victory for President Barack Obama. The president had made the consumer agency a key feature in his 2010 overhaul of financial regulations and turned an otherwise technical and esoteric piece of legislation into a populist symbol of change. Cordray's agency is uniquely independent because it gets its money directly from the Federal Reserve. Republicans had demanded that the office be overseen by a bipartisan commission and that it be subject to annual congressional appropriations instead of direct funding from the Fed. Cordray was confirmed Tuesday by a 66-34 vote, with 12 Republicans voting in his favor. It was a notable turnaround for a party that in February sent Obama a letter, signed by 43 of 45 Republican senators, vowing to block Cordray's nomination unless the agency was significantly changed. Obama last year bypassed the Senate by appointing Cordray to the job when the Senate was not fully in session. Republicans challenged the appointment, arguing that the Senate was not officially in recess to permit Obama to act on his own. Still, that appointment was to run out at the end of this year and the lack of a Senate-confirmed director had left the agency with limited authority to carry out the regulatory powers granted to it by the 2010 financial regulation law. Without a confirmed director, the GOP betting went, Obama would ultimately have to cave. ''For two years, Republicans in the Senate refused to give Rich a simple yes-or-no vote, not because they didn't think he was the right person for the job, but because they didn't like the law that set up the consumer watchdog in the first place,'' Obama said Wednesday after Cordray was sworn in. Democrats led by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada fought back, lumping together a series of blocked nominees and threatening to alter Sen- ate rules to bypass the Republican blockade. By Tuesday morning, the confrontation had been averted. Obama won an agreement for votes on Cordray and four other nominations. Obama had to give ground by withdrawing two National Labor Relations Board nominees and submitting two new names to the Senate. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one of those who signed the February letter, told reporters that a resolution of the filibuster-rule standoff began to take shape ''when a couple of us admitted we'd gone too far with a guy like Cordray.'' Graham said he doesn't like the consumer agency, ''but it's the law. And you can't deny an appointment because you don't like the underlying law.'' The deal now frees Cordray and the consumer agency to move on with its mandate — to oversee and regulate banks, lenders and credit card companies in their dealings with the public. In one of its major actions, the agency last year ordered three credit card companies — American Express, Discover and Capital One — to refund more than $400 million to about 6 million customers for using what it said were misleading tactics or pressure.
