Deputy secretary to leave Labor Department
Steven Law will leave his post as the deputy secretary of the Labor Department in January, officials announced Thursday.
During his nearly six-year tenure with the Bush administration, Labor became the first Cabinet agency to win all "green" scores, including for e-government, from the White House Office of Management and Budget on the President's Management Agenda.
The White House measures e-government performance by issuing quarterly scorecards on how well agencies are executing the president's initiatives.
Law is a member of the President's Management Council and the chairman of its e-government committee, a council of deputy secretaries, senior agency leaders and chief information officers that oversees progress on the initiatives.
COMMENTS
- That the Labor Department met President Bush's initiatives during Mr. Law's tenure doesn't seem like something to shout from the tree tops. Have those initiatives made your life any better? Have they made the government any better? Face the facts here. Mr. Law was a presidential appointee who rode the elephant and did little else. If anything, Mr. Law is leaving surrounded by a pall of darkness. He leaves the Labor department without lifting a finger to stop the internal abuses of power and the unethical treatment of injured federal workers.
