This is about the third inspector general who has retired recently.

I really thought these were not political plum positions.

This latest retiree has been replaced by a former Hillary, Biden associate, or so it has been reported.
It will be interesting to see if this turns out to be accurate.


WASHINGTON -- A House committee is investigating the recent resignation of Amtrak's inspector general, citing concerns about oversight at the publicly funded corporation at a time when it is set to spend more than $1 billion in federal stimulus funds.

Reps. Edolphus Towns (D., N.Y.) and Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), the chairman and ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, launched an investigation Monday following the resignation this month of Fred Weiderhold, Amtrak's longtime inspector general.

They're going to throw an additional billion at AMTRAK?

I guess there are reasons beyond simple economics to support AMTRAK, but AMTRAK is a disgrace and should be forced to cut the fat from it's snide, employment-for-life ranks, improve its service, and keep its bathrooms clean.
