The House approved a measure late Tuesday that would slash Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's taxpayer-funded government salary to just $1.
The bill - which was introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. - was passed via voice vote Tuesday as an amendment to the 2024 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, the standalone funding bill for the General Services Administration, Securities and Exchange Commission and other related agencies.
"I’m proud to announce my amendment to FIRE Pete Buttigieg just PASSED the House. Pothole Pete staged fake bike rides to the White House and used private planes funded by taxpayers to receive awards for the way certain people have sex," Greene said in a social media post Tuesday. "American taxpayers should not be on the hook for paying for his lavish trips or his salary."
"Pete Buttigieg doesn’t do his job. It’s all about fake photo ops and taxpayer-funded private jet trip to accept LGBTQ awards for him," Greene added. "I’m happy my amendment passed, but he doesn’t deserve a single penny."
Since taking office in 2021, Buttigieg has faced criticism for Republican lawmakers in response to several crises that have faced the Department of Transportation.
For example, in February, after a train carrying vinyl chloride, a dangerous colorless gas, derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, Buttigieg was criticized for his apparent inaction and for waiting several weeks before traveling to the site of the derailment.
In addition, there have been multiple instances of mass commercial airline cancelations during his tenure for various reasons including a pilot shortage. Republicans and Democrats alike had called for Buttigieg to take decisive action to ensure air travelers are protected from such cancelations.

Well welcome to FR...I know a late welcome.
Does the author know the difference between for and from? Does he speak English?
I think it’s unconstitutional. But it’s the thought that counts;D
Attagirl, Marjorie.
Pete should be satisfied. That’s all Trump took in salary while he was POTUS.
Who authorized his trip to Ukraine?? He has no business being there.

This is some of the silliest sh!t you’ll ever see.
Pure childish tantrum silly.
Another trick to make people forget that the GOP is nothing more than controlled opposition.
Buttigieg can’t reply to Republicans, he’s in the Ukraine. Yes, taxpayers, Biden’s Transport Secy met with Ukranian government leaders to discuss the county’s “economic recovery.” He will discuss:
<><>efforts to “return Ukraine to economic self-sufficiency,”
<><>investments in transportation infrastructure to “return to private-sector led growth.”
This must be a joke. Buck a week Buttgeig couldnt get planes to land on time
here, so now he’s an “expert” for the money-grubbing Ukrainians?
Wonder how much this is going to cost taxpayers?
A stroll down memory lane:
<><>Buttigieg was AWOL, waiting several weeks before traveling to the site of a hazardous train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
<><>Republicans and Democrats called for Buttigieg to take decisive action to ensure air travelers are protected from mass airline cancellations.
