The House of Representatives on Nov. 7 approved a measure aimed at reducing U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s taxpayer-funded salary to $1 per year as lawmakers debate spending bills ahead of a Nov. 17 government funding deadline.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) under the Holman Rule, was passed by voice vote in the Republican-majority House as an amendment to the 2024 Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development spending bill.
