Dang!!!   Another VA conspiracy to prevent real honest reduction in claim backlogs and wait times and denials!

i know as recently as 2 weeks ago, the vfw was asking for her resignation. truthfully, have no idea what the alleged scandal is.

I hope she wasn't one of the ones taking money.  She was one of the few who actually did care and help.

she was in the chain that authorized the relocation of high level personnel into lower positions

when the moved down, they got the same pay, and huge incentives, and huge moving expenses

while jr personnel moved up, into higher paying jobs, with the same huge incentives and the same huge moving expenses

dono if she was a gear making it happen and rewarding her friends or if she was just a cog in the manipulation

but either way, that dirt sticks to everything it touches

I hope her replacement is as responsive to veteran's inquiries as she was.   She has helped a lot of veterans who contacted her for help when all else failed.  JMO
