BREAKING: Council for Excellence In Government To Close
The Council for Excellence In Government will close its doors after 25 years, and the majority of its programs will be absorbed by the Partnership for Public Service. I just talked to Lynn Jennings, the interim president at the Council, and Max Stier, the president at the Partnership, and will have a story up with details shortly.

This is one collapse that can't be blamed on the current economic crisis. At least they provided a good example of irony.
