So how is Lurita Doan's effort to rein in General Services Administration Inspector General Brian Miller's office playing in the heartland? If Racine, Wis., is any example, not all that well. The editors of the Racine Journal-Times opined on Doan's efforts yesterday, saying she lives in a "hazy world" in which "it would appear that one way to reduce government waste is to muzzle the watchdog. Less yapping that way." The editors said they "would urge our local congressional representatives to make sure that Miller’s watchdogs can keep on growling as they sink their teeth into some $55 billion in government contracts for the Pentagon, Homeland Securities and other agencies."
