The House has passed an amendment to a larger bill that will streamline federal IT and finally empower CIOs - those able to keep their jobs as CIOs. Federal CIOs have long felt powerless and this bill, as this fedscoop story says, only restates their duties.
If passsed, the amendment, according to the story, would call for seriously denting the ranks of an estimated 250 federal CIOs. But with government, mandating and doing are two different things.
