GSA on Front Page, Again

General Services Administrator Lurita Doan is on the front page of the Washington Post once again. This article plays up the allegation that GSA held events to help Republican candidates in the 2006 election. Not much new is revealed in the article, though if you're not familiar with the whole ordeal it's a good place to start. The other element of this story is GSA's assault on the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). After the OIG objected to a GSA contract with Sun Microsystems, and launched an investigation into a suspicious no-bid contract that Doan tried to award to a personal friend, Doan tried to reduce the OIG's funding and restrict what it could audit. See this timeline for lots of links to articles on the scandal re: the OIG.
