The GovNavigators are joined this week by the smartest man in government - the Comptroller of the United States Gene Dodaro. Robert and Adam reflect on Gene's 50 (!) years of service at the Government Accountability Office, the changes he's seen in the government over that time, and the areas he's particularly proud of in his almost 15 years leading the government's watchdog organization. And you'll probably learn a few things about him you might not know.
