Resignations, fights and flame-outs have defanged the FEC inspector general's office.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration,"strongly supports the swift hiring of a new inspector general at the FEC," said her spokeswoman, Elana Ross.
FEC Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub, a Democrat, says she expects the commission will select an inspector general soon, either on a permanent or"acting" basis. Petersen, the Republican vice chairman, concurred. "We need an IG, we want an IG and we're all spending a lot of hours trying to get the best person for the job," Weintraub said."Yes, we've run into some unforeseen circumstances, some hiccups along the road."
