Seeing none, um, before we vote, I just want to take a few moments to speak on this appointment. Uh, our last Inspector General transition left us without a permanent Inspector General for over 6 months, which in my opinion is much too long to have such a critical position vacant.”

HR, Board of Ethics, on any violation like this, send it to the OIG. HR and ethics have repeatedly failed to take on that task. So what would be the difference here if somebody engaged in that same exact political work or prohibited political work or activity under this entity.”

Either through the chair or directly, if you have ideas on what enforcement could look like, because if this is just about somebody’s willingness to comply, I don’t think that’s going to change much. And I’ve got concerns that depending on who the next Inspector General is, it may be even harder to get any level of compliance.”

“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.
