Washington, D.C. September 29, 2008. The National Whistleblowers Center announced today that it is releasing the second volume in its "Whistleblower Laws" series, a legal reference that assists whistleblowers, community activists and journalists. The newest book, False Claim Acts: Federal, State and Municipal Qui Tam Laws , outlines all current laws that allow a private citizen to file a lawsuit "blowing the whistle" on irresponsible contractors who bilk government agencies. Under these laws, the whistleblower can be awarded a portion of the taxpayer monies recovered.
