BILLIONS IN TAXPAYER MONEY $PENT ON PUBLIC RELATIONS
Justin Gray Investigation, COX National News Bureau

In December, we released our OpenTheBooks Oversight Report - The Department of Self-Promotion, $4.4 Billion Spent by Federal Agencies on Public Relations (FY2007 - FY2014), click here.

Our report debuted on the front page of two Washington D.C. daily newspapers: TheHill and The Washington Times:

Last week, the COX Media national news bureau showcased our report which played on the evening news at ABC-Atlanta (WSB- Channel 2). 

Investigative reporter Justin Gray asked 10 federal agencies for an interview and NONE would answer questions on camera! 

Now, U.S. Senator Mike Enzi wants answers. Enzi has requested a comprehensive report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

We want answers, too. 

For example: Why are some of the world's largest advertising firms billing taxpayers for their interns - up to $88 per hour? And billing their executives for up to $1.1 million per year?

Why is the average salary for a federal public affairs officer over $100,000 per year, 70% higher than the private sector?

Why does the IRS allow their survey firms to charge taxpayers $70 per hour for each of their $9 per hour telemarketers?
