WASHINGTON — The Republican lawmaker expected to be the next speaker of the House says that one of the first votes the House will take next month will be to cut congressional budgets, including his own, by 5 percent.
Ohio Republican John Boehner says on a “60 Minutes” interview to be aired Sunday on CBS that the budget cuts would save the federal Treasury about $25 million to $30 million.
Boehner adds that Republicans plan to move a spending- cut bill every week over the first three months they are in power.
