Will Walden: 特朗普新设立的政府效率部门DOGE引发争议,消费者监督机构和倡导团体在第一天就采取了法律行动。这起争议的核心是DOGE的合法性以及其运作中的透明度和问责制问题。多起诉讼指控DOGE违反了联邦咨询委员会法案(FACA),该法案旨在确保咨询委员会满足具体的透明度标准。诉讼方认为DOGE的成员构成不平衡,只代表了一种观点——来自科技行业或共和党政治的小政府拥护者的观点,缺乏多样性,使其不适合其指定目的。此外,诉讼还指控DOGE缺乏透明度,马斯克和拉马斯瓦米与民选官员和科技高管举行了私人会谈,违反了FACA关于咨询委员会会议必须公开的规定。两位原告申请DOGE职位但未得到回复,他们认为这是因为他们的政府问责制和透明度观点。DOGE的运作缺乏透明度、监督和公众参与机会,特朗普政府对此保持沉默,马斯克未回应置评请求,拉马斯瓦米则计划离开DOGE专注于州长竞选。这些诉讼提出的问题超出了DOGE运作的合法性,突显了人们对新政府优先事项和方法的更深层次担忧,因为新政府试图重塑整个美国联邦政府。马斯克和拉马斯瓦米承诺进行大胆改革,但批评人士认为,DOGE成立过程中的缺乏透明度和包容性可能会损害其信誉和有效性。 Kel McClanahan: 政府工作与公司工作不同,任何缺乏这种视角的建议都注定会失败。他强调了在不充分了解其职能和后果的情况下裁减政府工作岗位的风险,警告说,缺乏信息的削减成本措施可能会损害公共服务。 Sky Perryman: 美国人应该问的问题是“他们在隐瞒什么?” Gerald Lentini: 我的申请被忽略是因为我对政府问责制和透明度的看法。 Joshua Ehrlich: 我的申请被忽略是因为我对政府问责制和透明度的看法。
