This story about the Head of GSA, Lurita Doan, and her Inspector General (IG) has legs as long as a giraffe’s.

What’s going on over there?

Not to dismiss the importance of objective, incisive program reviews, for which IGs are famous, why is there so much scuttlebutt?  Is this merely bureaucratic inside baseball at its best?

I invite anyone who’s familiar with the details to enlighten our readers.  At one level this has all the trappings of a classical scorned employee or personality clash.  Or, is there a legitimate, serious and enduring level of malfeasance?  And, if it is the latter, what can be done?  The cost of impeding efficient operations and alienating a large workforce is incalculable.
