U.S. Senator Mark Warner chaired a hearing of the Senate Budget Committee’s Task Force on Government Performance that focused on reducing fraud and abuse by increasing financial transparency in federal government. He welcomed witnesses from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), Sunlight Foundation, and University of Virginia.
Senator Warner began the hearing by calling attention to how inefficient the federal government when it comes to managing taxpayers dollars. “As most of my colleagues here know, I’ve been rather obsessed with addressing our long-term budget challenges,” he said. “The budget debate has mostly focused on spending and revenues – but I believe that government performance should be a part of this discussion.”
