Republican Congressman Wants To Get Rid Of Senior Executives At The VA

One congressman is calling on the new VA secretary to use his power to quickly get rid of senior executives for poor performance or misconduct. 

Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) is chairman of the Veterans Affairs subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. He wants action against Susan Taylor, the deputy chief procurement officer in the Veterans Health Administration. 

A new inspector general audit stated she misused her office and created conflicts of interest in dealings with the reverse auction firm FedBid. Coffman also wants Secretary Bob McDonald to examine whether FedBid is a responsible contractor. He called Taylor "the personification of the morally bankrupt and ethically impaired culture that exists within the department."

Nothing has changed with the VA , it still takes 12-15 months to get approved for disability claims.
They have hired way too many minorities with a less than 6 grade education.
I'm an English American , not an African American. Maybe that's the problem.
