5 Year Ban On Bonuses

A House panel has approved a five-year ban on bonuses for Veterans Affairs executives. Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) says VA executives have collected huge performance bonuses year after year while, he says, they fail at their jobs. He cites the department's struggle with a backlog of disability claims. The VA already has said it would give no bonuses to executives in that section. But the department came under fire from Congress and veterans groups last week for a bonus awarded to a VA health official. He oversees the Pittsburgh hospital where an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease killed five people.

They need to make that government-wide.

I have seen the incompetence - it is only overshadowed by the ego's!

Congressman ,senates, and representives always get raises so why not drop their yearly income to 150,000 and not 250,000 without bonuses for doing nothing but passing heavy taxes that wouldn't effect them.
