Recovery.gov Contract Kept Secret

Posted: 08 Oct 2009 11:45 AM PDT

The Obama Administration refuses to disclose information about a controversial, multi million-dollar contract with a politically connected firm to redesign a website that lets the public track federal stimulus spending.

This constitutes yet another violation of the administration's own transparency policy, which promises to offer the public unprecedented government openness and accountability. The president has repeatedly ignored his highly touted order, withholding information on everything from secretive transition meetings with special interests to a contentious decision not to criminally charge his governor friend in a bribery scheme that cost him a cabinet post. 

Now Obama is hiding the details of a suspicious $18 million contract to redesign his heavily promoted website (Recovery.gov), ironically created so that Americans can follow how federal stimulus dollars are spent. Remember when the president promised that Americans will be able to track "every dime" of the $787 billion stimulus? Recovery.gov is the tool that will assure the mission is completed.  

In July, the government hired a Maryland firm (Smartronix) that has received nearly $200 million worth of noncompetitive federal contracts, to redesign the Recovery.gov website. The enormous $18 million deal quickly drew scrutiny, especially because the company's owners had donated large sums to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland. 

An investigative journalism organization filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to obtain a copy of the redesign contract and the government's response was anything but transparent. Nearly half of the pages are blacked out and completely illegible. The contract's technical proposal, essentially the document's main body, was redacted completely. The blackouts were defended by the Obama Administration as a prohibition against the release of propriety information.

Maxine Waters: Rangel Not The Only In Congress To Hide Assets

Posted: 08 Oct 2009 09:22 AM PDT

Defending the embattled chairman of the powerful House committee that writes the nation's tax code, a fellow lawmaker claims many members of Congress hide their fortunes and don't pay taxes like her good buddy Charles Rangel. 

They simply suffer from innocent lapses in judgment, according to California Democrat Maxine Waters, who insists Rangel should not step down as chair of the House Ways and Means Committee simply because he omitted nearly $1 million in assets on mandatory financial disclosure forms. Many members of Congress regularly fail to disclose this sort of stuff, according to Waters, who's currently embroiled in a corruption probe and is tight with a convicted Black Panther cop murderer who fled to Cuba after a jailbreak.  

Rangel, a New York Democrat, omitted nearly $1 million in assets on federal disclosure statements, including tens of thousands of dollars in rental income on a Caribbean villa and eight years worth of rental income on a six-unit structure he owns in the Harlem district that he's represented in the U.S. House for three decades. Democrats have solidly stood behind him, however.  

While justifying this sort of indefensible criminal behavior may seem unbelievable for a United States congresswoman, just consider the source; Waters is currently under investigation for bullying the Treasury Department to give her husband's bank a $12 million federal bailout. The veteran legislator also holds a huge financial stake in the minority-owned bank and its executives have donated heavily to her political campaigns.

This sort of malfeasance is simply the norm for California's most influential black lawmaker, who over the years has repeatedly abused her political clout to benefit her family financially. It's not surprising, then, that Waters is shielding her good—and similarly crooked—friend from the fire, helping him fend off calls to resign from the committee that actually controls the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). 

A Republican congressman (John Carter of Texas) who sponsored a failed measure to oust Rangel offers a bit of a reality check: "When the boss of the IRS, and the chairman of the House committee that controls the IRS, fail to pay their taxes and walk off without penalty, we have made a mockery of our tax system and the rule of law itself."
