Washington, D.C. - Yesterday, the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) released a report investigating a lavish GSA conference for the Services Administration Public Buildings Service 2010 Western Regions, which cost the American taxpayer $823,000, and led to the resignation of GSA Administrator Martha Johnson. In the wake of this report yesterday, Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, the committee of jurisdiction over the GSA, called on Senator Boxer, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, to hold a hearing to get to the bottom of how this happened and how it can be prevented in the future. He has not yet received an answer from Senator Boxer.
