Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has a suggestion for the IRS: Slip some more bucks to snitches who rat out big tax cheats. A new report from the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, he says, "notes that the audits and exams based on whistleblower information are nearly twice as productive as normal IRS examinations."

 

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
