GSA Scandal Mushrooms, Almost $1 Million in Meeting Cancellations

Fallout continues from the U.S. General Services Administration’s Western Regions Conference that made national headlines for its spending excesses, contracting missteps, and ethics violations. New details about the conference emerged last week during three days of congressional hearings. And in reaction to the scandal, nearly $1 million worth of GSA meetings have been canceled, the GSA’s employee reward program has been eliminated, and other government meetings could be affected.
