| “Every day is Infrastructure Day in my state of Washington and across the country,” The U.S. Government Accountability Office released its 14th annual duplication reduction report last week. The report identifies 112 measures in 42 topic areas that can bring savings to agencies and the Nation. One suggestion is to consolidate acquisitions across the many organizations that create the Department of Homeland Security to save more than $100 million a year.
