IGs? IGs? Whatever happened to the IGs? - bill
-------------------
I will tell you what happened, the IG's were not independent and with their reports, as well as their very employment, are subject to the whims of the agencies they audit. And, don't get into the literalist crap that IG's are not the actual auditor, they employ auditors. OK, such attempts as diversion don't change the underlying lack of independence problem. We need to adopt the Dope Plan for an Independent IG Corp. And I add that not only should Independent IG's be supported, but that we need way more than 17, how about a hundred to start with.
So I am all for a beefy team of IG's that can actually audit and have their results heard without redaction or censorship. But I am not in favor of restoral of what was the status quo.
