More Gerry Connolly

I blogged earlier in the week about Rep. Gerry Connolly's efforts to build an identity for himself by tackling federal employee and federal management issues. My new NextGov colleague Aliya Sternstein continues the Connolly-fest with a look at one of the Congressman's top priorities, a bill to clarify and codify the role of the new Chief Technology Officer. Connolly says the bill needs to be passed because CTO Aneesh Chopra's been handed a much broader brief than Obama outlined for the position during the transition, but critics say it'd be better to wait and see how Chopra's experience shapes the job. Either way, it's a good, important piece of reporting.

And I'll be interviewing Connolly next Thursday. If you want to submit questions, send 'em my way, and I'll let you know if I use any of them.
