OEO Legal Staff Busy Suing Boss
The Office of Economic Opportunity runs a large legal staff that sometimes sues its own government. Neighborhood Legal Services, with 1,800 lawyers in 250 offices, served the poor 291,000 times last year. NLS filed suits against federal and state agencies, including the VA and Social Security, and its 42 million dollar budget funded most salaries. Some officials and Senator Murphy protested, while the program argued landmark suits advance reform and aid the poor.
