They are Finally Hearing Us! This in Unbelievable!
by Valerie Lewis
Hey Fellow Service Disabled Veterans, Listen Up! I have a few moments to check in, get my head back in the game and get some info out to you and also hopefully educate us on some current issues that affect us directly.
We have a tremendouse oppty ahead of us and the heat is on! Thanks to AIG (and others like them) – the Legislators are finally getting off their duffs and hearing what the people really want! Gov’t Accountability! The issues that are currently at hand are too numerous for this presentation, but I will attempt to outline some areas for close scrutiny from CA and SDVOSB procurement issues.
All Robotic Experts should definitely be on top of all this info.
The issues on the table are:
- Transparency and Accountability by Chairman Earl Devany,
- 7% Problem with waste & fraud
- Massive Federal Windfall for Federal Agencies,
- State & Local Agencies Prosecuted Fraud (especially of interest to DVBEs),
- Zero Accountability and Sweetheart deals, (Whistleblower Protection)
- Agency Guidance from OMB, IG, OPM, and GAO. (Wonderful),
- Audit of Stimulus Funds (especially states),
- "Appropriated Programs" but not "Funded" can now, apparently, be "funded". Experts please chime in.
We as SDVOSBs need to first become aware of the "Stimulus Recovery Opptys" – go to fedbizopps and type in keyword = "Recovery" search for your industry and job capability.
Keep your eye on wear stimulus money is being spent. Let’s open dialogue and discuss.
Stay on top of websiteb – www.recovery.gov (go check it out and let’s discuss intelligently)
