Liar, liar, pants on fi re! The House, Ways, and Means Com- mittee determined in a congressional report that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intentionally misled both Con- gress and the public about its ability to assist customers and answer questions to get more money from Congress. It diverted money from that section and used it for frivolous and unneces- sary items in order to claim not enough Cherae Hunt | Chronicle Photo money and therefore the need of a larger budget, according to Yahoo.com. The passing of Senate Bill 277 will result in all grade school children to be vaccinated in order to attend school. The amendment is due to the measles out-break.
