Government Executive Editor in Chief Tom Shoop, along with other editors and staff correspondents, look at the federal bureaucracy from the outside in.
Civil Service Scammers
Linda P. Campbell, a columnist and editorial writer for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, can't figure out why some federal employees would fleece taxpayers by illegally reselling the transit vouchers they receive from their agencies. "What were these 'public servants' thinking while they picked our collective pocket?" she writes. Then she adds this:
"I keep thinking about my father, who during 28 years as a federal employee wouldn't even read the newspaper or a magazine at work unless it was on his lunch break so he wouldn't deprive his employer of a full day's work."
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.
