Scott B. Peterson was interviewed on ABC’s Worldwide News in June of 2008 by nine (9) time Emmy award winning news journalist Brian Ross.More than 10 million people watched iconic news journalist Brian Ross interview Scott, as the whistleblower in the federal grant making scandal at the U.S. Department of Justice.Mr. Peterson took an inconvenient stand against the federal government and exposed the cronyism, public deception, fraud, and abuse taking place at the U.S. Department of Justice by high ranking Presidential appointees who were misappropriating tens of millions of tax payer dollars intended for fair competition to benefit our most vulnerable children and youth.The announced competition turned out to be anything but fair for the more than 500 plus local, state and national organizations that submitted applications for tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. Mr. Peterson’s actions led to both House and Senate investigations and hearings and an Office of the Inspector General Investigation.Mr. Peterson plans to do much more in the coming years to improve the integrity and transparency of competitions for federal taxpayer funds to include lobbying for full disclosure on the scores and rankings of all applicants and other freedom of information disclosures that increase transparency in government. Scott received hundreds and hundreds of emails and calls in appreciation of his efforts.
