'HR-1' is often used to designate the highest priority in a given edition of the House of Representatives and a central Illinois Congressman is ripping the priorities laid out in this Congress' edition of HR-1.

Congressman Rodney Davis says HR-1 would seek to enrich the coffers of campaigns of Democrats in the House, which he questions why that is the highest priority for them.

According to the Taylorville Republican, the bill adds a tax to corporate fines that then goes to the Department of the Treasury once it is 'laundered and cleansed' allowing for up to $7.2-million into every member of Congress' campaign.

The Congressman believes the bill gets more ludicrous when you realize it is Congress that sets the fines for corporations in America. This is a measure that has been proposed before during President Donald Trump's administration and Davis fought it then and says he continues to lead the fight against it now. 

HR-1 would need 60 votes in the Senate to pass.
