Issa subpoenas Lew over Delphi pensions



“Taxpayers deserve the full truth about how decisions were made to use their money in an administration effort that resulted in protecting generous pensions for unionized Delphi employees while greatly diminishing benefits for non-unionized employees,” said Issa, Subcommittee Chairman John Mica (R-Fla.) and Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio) in a letter to Lew.

“Nearly a year after the committee’s last request, the department still had not fully responded; the Department instead provided only a fraction of the responsive documents,” they wrote.

The lawmakers sent a letter to Lew on July 23 outlining their previous requests to former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. 

The panel’s Subcommittee on Government Operations held a field hearing on the Delphi pension bailout on June 10.
