WASHINGTON (AP) — An Obama administration official says Nancy Killefer is withdrawing her candidacy to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government.
The official said the 55-year-old executive with consulting giant McKinsey & Co., will detail her reason for pulling out later Tuesday.
When her selection was announced by President Barack Obama on Jan. 7, The Associated Press disclosed that in 2005 the District of Columbia government had filed a more than $900 tax lien on her home for failure to pay unemployment compensation tax on household help.

This is all becoming VERY orwellian.
Calling government ppl “czars” - is this setting up for a bolshevik revolution or something? sick of the “czar” crap
$900? Oh! That’s why. Her amount was way too small.
It she had owed tens of thousands, she would be in like Flynn!
A Democrat with some semblance of honor or at the very least the capability to be embarrassed.
Cheating on taxes must be a qualification for the Bambi Administration...
The most openly ‘ethically challenged’ administration in memory.
Obambi and his administration are one big trainwreck waiting to happen.
Pile ‘em up! Good grief.
Apparently, with just a $900 tax lien, she’s not qualified for the position because she’s not smart enough to be a bigger tax cheat.
Or he just can’t find any Dem’s that aren’t tax cheats.
NOT SHOCKING!!!!!!!!
It’s the Chicago Way.
Lie, cheat, steal.
Considering THAT ONE didn’t pay 20-year-old parking tickets until last year, having a cabinet full of tax cheats comes as no big suprise.
What an “UNPATRIOTIC” bunch!
Only we peasants and serfs (i.e. Tax Drones) need to pay taxes.
I doubt it’s honor or embarrassment. There’s probably something she doesn’t want disclosed and thinks if she gets out now she’ll be safe.
When her selection was announced by Obama on Jan. 7, The Associated Press disclosed that in 2005 the District of Columbia government had filed a $946.69 tax lien on her home for failure to pay unemployment compensation tax on household help.
Since then, administration officials have refused to answer questions about the tax error which she resolved five months after the lien was filed.
Yea, there has to be far more than $900 involved. That’s peanuts.
and the list goes on
