Dave Mader: MGT Act poised to become law via NDAA
The MGT Act will give federal chief information officers a central fund of $3 billion from which they can draw to update obsolete IT systems.

Dave Mader, the former controller of the Office of Management and Budget and now the chief strategy officer for the civilian sector at Deloitte, joins Federal Drive with Tom Temin in studio to discuss the implications.
