Senator Wants Names And Bonuses

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) issued a stern order to the General Services Administration's acting administrator, Dan Tangherlini. She wanted names and bonus payments of GSA officials named in a tough IG report on excessive conference and employee prize spending. McCaskill was peeved about the so-called Hats Off program. Hats Off appeared to have randomly given out expensive gifts to employees in the Public Buildings Service. On the conference front, GSA has canceled it's Green-Up meeting scheduled for later this month in Las Vegas. Las Vegas was the site of GSA's ill-fated Western Region training conference.
