Ethics Watchdog Calls for Investigation into 15 Members of Congress Involved in QUID PRO QUO scheme August 22, 2019 According to FACT’s complaint, the Members all signed a letter to the Chairman and CEO of Red Rock Resorts, Inc., Frank Fertitta III, urging Fertitta to allow company employees to “form a union and collectively bargain.” However, the letter then referenced an unrelated, pending bill in Congress that would change a provision of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) governing building improvements. Ironically, last December Red Rock Resorts signed a letter to Congress requesting that this very provision, one that would financially benefit Fertitta’s company, be changed. According to House ethics rules, this type of implied quid pro quo – one where a Member specifies a type of action from a citizen in exchange for their own promised action on a piece of legislation that would benefit the citizen – is clearly prohibited. Furthermore, the complaint notes, that just the implication of this threat alone is enough to breach ethics rules, regardless of whether the Members follow through with their threat.
