President’s Clinton’s internet advisor is used to being in the news these days, but this time it’s for the wrong reasons. Ira Magaziner was recently found to have misled a court over a 1993 health care reform proposal and the judge ordered the government to pay a fine of almost $286,000. But House Ways and Means Committee chairman Texas Republican Bill Archer complained to House majority Leader Dick Armey that the tax payers should not be made to pay, and Archer agrees with him. However, Clinton has pledged to back Magaziner to the hilt. It does not really look like a posing any real threat to Magaziner position. The fine was to cover attorney fees arising from the 1993 lawsuit, that came from the ill-fated health reforms that Magaziner helped Hilary Rodham-Clinton to draft.
