Senate Passes IG Reform Bill

Last week the Senate approved the Inspector General Reform Act of 2007, S 2324. The Washington Post's Government Inc. blog had some thoughts on the bill:

I'm not sure most people understand how close to the center of government IGs operate. They need robust support and plenty of room to dig deep on behalf of taxpayers.

Or, when it comes to contracting, we could allow the companies to police themselves, as some proponents of procurement reform have suggested.

The magic of the market, I think they call it.
