The deals, but of course.....

Labor secretary nominee accused of cutting 'secret deal,' costing taxpayers up to $200M

Labor secretary nominee Thomas Perez cut a "secret deal behind closed doors" with leaders of a Minnesota city, persuading them to drop a contentious lawsuit in exchange for the Justice Department staying out of whistleblower cases brought against the city, according to a congressional Republican report.

The "quid pro quo," according to the report, potentially cost taxpayers as much as $200 million.
