ExecutiveGov unveiled a number of stories this week about the U.S. Federal government and its leaders.
Two vital stories the website published included the latest news about the nomination of the next head of the IRS and the appoinment of a new Pentagon cost assesment lead.
John Kosinken was recently nominated by President Obama as the next head of the IRS.
As part of the nomination process, Kosinken has been meeting with members of the Senate Finance Committee in closed-door talks.
“First and foremost, he must work to regain the trust of the American people,” panel chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont, said in a statement.
The reports says he would have to work to recapture public trust because of a scandal about the IRS’ special treatment of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.

At the Pentagon, the U.S. Air Force’s Chief Financial Officer Jamie Morin has been nominated to lead an office at the DoD which estimates how much weapons programs cost.
If confirmed by the Senate, Morin would help the DoD achieve $500 billion in mandated budget cuts over the next 10 years.
“He was involved in all the big discussions, he knows the issues. He’s got the brain power to bring to the table,” said Todd Harrison, an analyst at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
As CFO, Morin oversees the branch’s $700 million annual budget and 700,000 uniformed and civilian personnel.
