I-RADNOR, PA – Ummeleli wase-US u-Curbelo (R-Fla) wethule isichibiyelo ku-HR 4441, uMthetho Wokusungulwa Kwezindiza, Izinguquko, Nokugunyazwa Kabusha ka-2016 - njengesipho ezinhlanganweni zezindiza ngokuphendula ukuphikisa kwazo eMnyangweni Wezokuthutha wase-US wezi-2012 ( I-DOT) umthetho odinga izinkampani zezindiza ukuthi zibonise ngokusobala amanani aphelele amathikithi ekukhangiseni nasekubonisweni kwe-inthanethi, okuhlanganisa izintela nezinkokhelo zikahulumeni. Lesi sichibiyelo sizohlehlisa ngempumelelo lowo mthetho we-DOT futhi silulaze ukuvikelwa kwabathengi okubaluleke kakhulu okwamukelwa njengekhambi lokuyenga nokushintsha ukukhangisa kwezindiza. USenator Fischer (R-Neb) kulindeleke ukuthi anikeze isichibiyelo esingumngane wakhe.
Aphinde futhi Amalungu e-US Congress anikeze abavoti isizathu sokucasulwa yiqembu elikhethekile laseWashington akholelwa ukuthi alizikhathalele izintshisekelo zabo. Ukuthuthukiswa kwenqubomgomo yezokundiza ngokomlando bekungumsebenzi wezinhlangothi ezimbili eWashington ukuze kuzuze abathengi kanye nezwe. Eminyakeni yakamuva, njengoba imelwe yi-Orwellian ebizwa ngokuthi i-Transparent Airfares Act ka-2014, lesi sichibiyelo esihlose ukuyivuselela ngokuyalelwa yizinkampani zezindiza, okudabukisayo ukuthi inhloso yenqubomgomo isukile ekuzuzweni kwezwe yaya ezidingweni zezithakazelo ezikhethekile ezinamaphakethe ajulile. kanye namabutho ama-lobbyists.
Ngaphansi komthetho we-DOT ka-2012, izinkampani zezindiza kufanele zethule ngokugqamile ezikhangisweni inani lentengo yamathikithi, okuyikhona okukhathalelwa ngabathengi. Kodwa-ke, izinkampani zezindiza futhi zivunyelwe ukubonisa ukuphuma kwezintela nezinkokhelo zikahulumeni inqobo nje uma zingavezwa ngokugqamile kunengqikithi yenani lentengo yamathikithi. Ukwengeza, asikho isidingo se-DOT esivimbela izinkampani zezindiza ukuthi ziphinde zifake ezintengo zamathikithi eziyisisekelo (inani lezintela zikahulumeni nezinkokhelo), uma nazo ziboniswa ngendlela engabonakali kakhulu kunesamba sezintengo zamathikithi. Ngakho-ke, izinkampani zezindiza zimahhala namuhla ukuze zinikeze abathengi incazelo enemininingwane yenani lentengo yamathikithi. Umgomo osobala we-DOT ekwamukeleni lo mthetho kwakuwukuvimbela ukudideka nokukhwabanisa kwabathengi mayelana nenani eliphelele okufanele likhokhwe ngezinketho ezihlukahlukene zokuhamba.
Lesi sichibiyelo sizobukela phansi ukuvikelwa kwabathengi be-DOT ngokuvusa umkhuba wokukhangisa odukisayo nokhohlisayo abathengi abasanda kuwuqeda. Uma isichibiyelo samukelwe ngesimo saso samanje, kuzovumela izintengo zamathikithi aphansi ukuthi zigqanyiswe kuqala futhi kuqala, ngaleyo ndlela kunciphe ukubonakala ngokuvumela amanani entengo yamathikithi nezintela nezinkokhelo zikahulumeni ukuthi zidalulwe ngendlela “ethula ngokusobala ulwazi. kumthengi,” ngokwesichibiyelo esihlongozwayo.
Imiphumela yabathengi eyingozi kakhulu yalesi sichibiyelo, nokho, imayelana nezinhlinzeko zayo zokukhangisa ku-inthanethi nokucela. Izinkampani zezindiza zingakhululeka ukubonisa ngokusobala izintengo zamathikithi aphansi "woza" ezikrinini zokuqala bese zikhipha ulwazi mayelana namanani entengo angempela, aphezulu amathikithi, okuhlanganisa izintela nezinkokhelo zikahulumeni, kwezinye izingxenye zamawebhusayithi azo “ngesixhumanisi noma pop up...okubonisa ulwazi ngendlela 'okungelula ukufinyeleleka kuyo futhi ebonakalayo' umthengi." Lokhu kumelela isimemo esivulekile sokubuyela emikhubeni yokumaketha engalungile nekhohlisayo eyayisabalala ngaphambi kokuba i-DOT ithathe isinyathelo ngo-2012 ukuze ivikele abathengi. Iqhinga lokukhangisa elivame ukubizwa ngokuthi "intengo yokudonsa."
Abathengi bazokhala kakhulu ngalesi sichibiyelo esingacatshangwa kahle. Abaphikisani nokuthi izinkampani zezindiza nazo zidalule izintela nezinkokhelo zikahulumeni (okuthi ngendlela ethile zinike amandla ingqalasizinda yezindiza ezibalulekile, ukuphepha nokuvikeleka) - kodwa zifuna kuqala ukutshelwa inani eliphelele ukuze zazi izinketho zangempela ezifanele okufanele zizicabangele. Ukungafihli kwentengo yethikithi egcwele kusengaphambili nazo zonke izintela nezinkokhelo ezifakiwe, kanye nekhono lokuqhathanisa inani eliphelele lohambo elihlanganisa nezindleko zamasevisi ahambisanayo njengezihlalo ezibekelwe ngaphambili nezindleko zemithwalo, yilokho okubalulekile kubathengi futhi lokho lokho iCongress okufanele igxile kukho.
I-BTC inxusa kakhulu omele u-Curbelo (R-Fla) ukuthi ahoxise isichibiyelo sakhe futhi uSenator Fischer (R-Neb) acabangele kabusha ukunikeza isichibiyelo esingumngane.
