Congressman Weiner Formally Requests Two Investigations into the Traffic.com Scandal

Earlier this week, New York Congressman Anthony Weiner got back into the fray, and formally requested both an investigation by USDOT Inspector General Scovel and an oversight hearing by Cong. Peter DeFazio, who Chairs the House Highways and Transit Subcommittee.

DeFazio letter

As you'll see, his letters are both highly complimentary and supportive of the efforts that Senator Orrin Hatch has made (particularly since January) to challenge Traffic.com's monopoly.

This whole scandal is the worst example of behavior I can think of on the part of current or former elected and appointed officials, and will not stand.
