The Obama Transition Team has started to announce some of the people who will be doing agency reviews. Tom Perez will be heading up the agency reviews for Justice, Health and Human services, Veterans Affairs, and Housing and Urban Development, the group that seems most likely to include Social Security. Here is a little information about Perez:
He is Secretary of the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation under Governor Martin O’Malley. He worked in a variety of civil rights positions at the Department of Justice, including Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights under Attorney General Janet Reno. He also served as Director of the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Donna Shalala, and as Special Counsel to Senator Edward Kennedy. From 2001 until 2007, he was Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Maryland School of Law, and is an adjunct faculty member at the George Washington School of Public Health.
No word yet on who will be on the "parachute team" that will be landing on Social Security in the near future.

I suggest that it be led by Dr. Kevorkian, so SSA can be put out of its misery.
