[0]theodp writes "After Gov. Tim Kaine intervened on his behalf, Vivek
Kundra was quietly [1]reinstated to his Federal CIO post on Tuesday after
a [2]brief leave following an [3]FBI raid on Kundra's former DC office
(Kundra was not implicated). Now, the Washington Post reports that the
City of DC plans to [4]fire 23 Technology Office contractors and place 4
employees on leave in the aftermath of the arrests of a [5]Security
manager and contractor on [6]bribery charges last week. Another
government employee has since been [7]arrested for his role in the scam,
and the mayor has promised that the tech office will undergo a '[8]full
and formal review.'"
