Susan Brita, deputy administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA),
emerged as a whistleblower star this spring, praised for her role in
uncovering an $800,000 taxpayer-funded Las Vegas conference with clowns,
a mind reader and in-room parties that became a national symbol of
egregious government waste.
“As deputy administrator, as a civil servant and as a taxpayer, I share your anger and disappointment in GSA’s conduct,” Ms. Brita told a House panel in April.
Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat who represents the District of Columbia, later issued a press release calling Ms. Brita a hero.
