Senators Criticize EPA Administrator For Not Nominating An Inspector General
In a letter dated October 15, 2009, U. S. Senators John Barrasso (R-WY) and James Inhoffe (R-OK) criticized U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson for not yet nominating a full-time Inspector General for EPA. The Senators' letter states

    "The Inspector general position at any federal agency is an important 'watchdog' position that allows the public to know that oversight is occurring.
    ***
    "Not moving forward with a nomination in the Senate for an EPA Inspector General fails to meet the Administration's objective to put a premium on transparency and openness. We offer our assistance in filling this important position without delay."
