Fiscal Mismanagement

How sad is this? According to the Post this investigation is ongoing even though:

"In its semiannual audit, the Government Accountability Office said yesterday that Barrett spent $930,742 from October 2004 to March 2005, six years after Cisneros pleaded guilty to the charges Barrett was appointed to investigate -- and more than a year after Barrett submitted his 400-page report for final judicial review. The GAO did not indicate what Barrett has been doing since he finished his report, other than maintain staff and office expenditures that have continued to rise since the investigation ended."

Maybe someone outside the G.A.O. should remind this government office exactly what it's job is.
