A Commission For the Management of Government Assets
Posted by Mark Tanen on September 19, 2011
We clearly need to have better handling of and stewardship for Federal Government assets. At a time when “privitization” and sweet heart deals are rampant, the Feds need to step up tracking and management of our mutually held assets. These may be in the sale or disposal of assets, but also in the user fees, leases and other rights agreements with mining, oil production, forestry and other industries.
Because the Federal Government must achieve the best price in the use of Federal Government assets. Anything less is a dereliction of duty and illegal. Unconstitutional? In part. Certainly Unamerican. I’d like a single list and some visibility to the financial success of managing Federal Government assets. Not too difficult a task to create the list, add some FAR and other regulatory changes.
We shouldn’t have to make the case for proper management.
How about an asset register and balance sheet?
