McCaskill Aide Nominated As SBA IG
By Robert Brodsky
Sen. Claire McCaskill's influence in the watchdog/auditing community continues to grow. On Monday, one of the McCaskill's top aides, Peggy Gustafson, was nominated as inspector general for the Small Business Administration.
Gustafson currently serves as general counsel to McCaskill, D-Mo., advising the first-term senator and former Missouri state auditor on government oversight issues.
According to an administration announcement, Gustafson helped write two bills that strengthened the roles of IGs: the Inspector General Reform Act of 2008 and the legislation that created the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief. From 1999-2007, she served as general counsel in the Missouri State Auditor's Office.
Peter McClintock is currently the acting inspector general at SBA.
