MWAA aims to restore public confidence, Fairfax Times, September 6, 2012

Board plans to adopt stricter ethics policies for members

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Board of Directors moved ahead with policy reforms Wednesday that they say are aimed at restoring public confidence in the authority and its leadership.
However, during the course of the policy discussions, some members suggested the board has continued functioning as a “good ol’ boys network,” with decisions being made behind the scenes and without the knowledge of the full board. . . .
Imagine that:  A mini-Board of insiders within the Board of insiders, all pilfering the public's purse.

Also, like the FairfaxNews article posted here yesterday, this article notes that all the so-called reforms the MWAA Board has proposed are aimed at pleasing DOT's Office of Inspector General, who presented a scathing draft report on MWAA in May.  None of MWAA's apologies are directed at the public.
