Office of Special Counsel Developments

The Office of Special Counsel has completely revamped its web site. Of special interest: the expanded list of Frequently Asked Questions about the Hatch Act.

More news: The OSC settled what is believed to be a particularly significant Hatch Act case (reported here earlier when OSC filed the complaint). The case involved a DIA supervisor's attempt to influence subordinates' votes in the 2008 Presidential election.

Finally, OSC has also filed complaints for disciplinary action against three more federal employees.  Here are links to those press releases:
