Mugged Accountability

Accountability got mugged last month when congressional leaders stripped federal whistleblower protections from their compromise "stimulus" bill.
There were, however, a couple of bright spots with improved language for the government database which will better track the flow of stimulus funds to the state and local level. In addition, POGO was cheered by the news that the management-challenged nuclear weapons complex lost out on the billion dollar blank check the Senate had been offering.
Much work remains to be done before the big bucks go out the door. POGO will keep fighting to get federal whistleblowers the protections they need when they disclose the inevitable waste and fraud they will be witnessing.

Founded in 1981, POGO is an independent non-profit that investigates and exposes corruption and other misconduct in order to achieve a more effective, accountable, open, and honest federal government.
