Chair Montigny opened the Post Audit Committee, stressed bipartisan investigative role, warned he will use subpoena power when witnesses or documents are withheld, and framed the failed service‑plaza procurement as a symptom of broader procurement culture problems (citing the Big Dig and Bechtel). He asked the Inspector General to present findings and recommendations.
