Tn Cuts Aid For Property Tax Relief For Disabled Vets!

I don't have a scanner, but will be glad to send a copy to you. It is going to impact ALL veterans, but the new ones are going to be hit the worst. WHY the TN Governor signed this bill is beyond me. You know there are MANY others cuts that could be made

Tennesee does have limited recall provisions. Check the recall items out and see if the idiots who dreamed up this bull can be tossed out.

Its a myth that GOP is always wanting to cut Veterans benefits. As Fact check . org pointed out, its simply not true that Republicans voted to cut Vets benefits, here:

http://www.factcheck.org/2014/06/moldy-baloney-about-vets-benefits/

In part:

A Democratic PAC is serving up some 11-year-old baloney in an attempt to keep ex-House member Doug Ose from returning to Congress. It accuses the California Republican of voting “to slash veterans’ benefits by $15 billion,” when what he actually voted for — way back in 2003 — was an increase.

The ad also claims he voted to increase his own pay, which he didn’t. In fact, Ose sponsored legislation to repeal automatic pay raises for himself and other members of Congress.

end of fact check quote.

More recently, it was reported that Harry Reid, the democrat, voted to block passage of 21 billion dollars of Veterans benefits:

These benefits, blocked by the democrats, would help Veterans in many ways:

"We're not going to be intimidated on this," GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said before the vote. "We're going to do the right things for the veterans of America."

Under the bill, more veterans would have become eligible for in-state college tuition, even improved dental care — and some wounded troops left unable to have children would have received fertility or adoption services.

In addition, the Veteran's Administration would have received more resources to ease its backlog of cases, and the bill would have bolstered programs for veterans who suffered sexual abuse.

end quote.

I hope Tbird closes this politically biased post, so that we can focus on Veterans issues and not politics..especially attacks on the GOP which simply are not true.

Sorry to hear it - sqwak to the media about it- pols are always in a hurry to get photos next to disabled vets- see if you can find one who'll take a photo of a disabled vet asking about this deal.
