A Merit Systems Protection Board judge has reversed a decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs to demote one of its senior executives for abuse of power.
A spokesman for MSPB confirmed that a Chicago judge on Jan. 27 had reversed the agency’s action to demote Kimberly Graves, formerly the director of the Veterans Benefits Administration’s St. Paul regional office in Minnesota. A written decision will be posted to the board’s website likely in early February.
“Ms. Graves is happy the action was reversed, and she looks forward to continuing her life’s work serving veterans,” said Graves’ attorney Julia Perkins, a partner at law firm Shaw Bransford & Roth, according to reports from Government Executive.
Neither Perkins nor the VA responded immediately to a request for comment.

This is why so little is ever attempted by federal managers to discipline employees.
It takes an act of Congress to do anything against them.
'Chicago' is all I had to read before I realized how corrupt this decision is.
