Geee Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Washington Times: Sen. Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican who has carved out a niche as Congress’s top waste-watcher, announced late Thursday that he will leave the Senate at the end of this year — a full two years before his term is up. Mr. Coburn has been battling cancer and was scheduled to have key tests next month. In a statement, he said he decided it was time to shift his focus to his family. “As a citizen, I am now convinced that I can best serve my own children and grandchildren by shifting my focus elsewhere. In the meantime, I look forward to finishing this year strong,” he said. His departure will leave a significant hole in Congress. He has assembled one of the best teams of investigators to root out wasteful spending, and has turned it into a cottage industry with his annual “Wastebook” featuring questionable projects funded with taxpayer money.
