Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., must feel like Dr. Frankenstein. Fed up with the cronyism and corruption that a federal inspector general exposed within the board of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, Wolf is now trying to undo his own reform of the independent authority he helped create.

Last year, Congress passed Wolf’s bill to expand the 13-member board to 17, giving Virginia a slightly larger share of representation. But MWAA refused to seat the two new members appointed by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell. So Wolf introduced another bill Tuesday that would reduce the board to just nine members, with Virginia controlling a six-seat majority and just one board member each for the federal government, the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland.
