Waxman's Time to Shine
The New York Times had a great write-up yesterday on House Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA). Over the years when Waxman served as minority ranking member for the committee, we've watched him take both industry and agencies to task over everything from misleading drug advertisements to manipulation of science. Let's hope he brings that same underdog spirit to his new post. Already he's held hearings on waste, fraud and abuse in Iraq contacting and on political interference in government climate science, and more oversight hearings are planned for the coming months.
Read OMBW's latest issued of the Watcher for more on congressional oversight in the new Congress.
