The District government alleged that after Killefer left Treasury, she failed to pay unemployment compensation tax for a household employee. After 18 months, a lien for $946.69 was placed on her home in the Wesley Heights neighborhood of Northwest Washington -- including $298 in unpaid taxes, $48.69 in interest and $600 in penalties. The lien was filed March 7, 2005, and resolved July 29. At the time, her son and daughter were teenagers, according to the Associated Press. But, the wire service said, she told Harvard business students at the time that she had two nannies and a personal assistant to run her life when she was on the road.

Ohbummer nominated Killefer to be deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget and to take on a new White House post, chief performance officer for the entire federal government. Both positions require Senate confirmation. Ohbummer had said Killefer would work on "identifying where there are areas that we can make big change that lasts beyond the economic recovery plan and save taxpayer money over the long term." It was not immediately clear who would replace her. Killefer's confirmation would have been handled by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which is chaired by Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) and has jurisdiction over OMB appointments. The White House never officially referred her nomination to the panel and a committee staff background investigation had only recent started, according to committee spokeswoman Leslie Phillips. "Sen. Lieberman is disappointed the nomination process for this important position has been delayed," Phillips said in a written statement. "He hopes the OhbummerRAT Administration quickly appoints a new nominee so the critical business of making government more efficient and responsive to the American people can be carried out with energy and vigor." Killefer is a senior director at McKinsey & Co., an international management consulting firm with private- and public-sector clients. From 1997 to 2000, she served as assistant secretary for management and chief financial officer and chief operating officer at the Treasury Department.
