House sends VA reform bill to president

"The House voted 368-55 Tuesday to send President Trump legislation to ease worker protections at the Department of Veterans Affairs. The legislation, written in response to recent scandals at the department over manipulation of waiting lists and poor conditions at hospitals, will make it easier to fire VA workers over such problems.
The legislation, dubbed the "Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act," also would remove the VA workers from the payroll should they contest their dismissal. Employees found guilty of wrongdoing would be prohibited from receiving bonuses or being compensated for being relocated. The legislation also would require the VA to evaluate supervisors on their ability to protect whistleblowers."


54 of 55 NO votes were Democrat.

The party of "no" cares not for veterans...

Party of "no!" Repubs was in full mode for 8 yrs under Obama and continues to be with Trump! Hell Mr Orangeman and the ranking Repubs continue to disinclude Dems in all things government!:grumpy:

Yes, we know...Trump is a big meanie. But that big meanie is getting a lot more done than the last poser. Don't worry, you will get over it. We did, after that last 8 years of Dancing with the loser.
