VA being investigated

The Department of Veterans Affairs spent $5 million—and set aside $4 million more — last year for two training conferences, and now the organizers of them are under investigation over whether they broke ethics rules by improperly accepting gifts, lawmakers and government sources said.The agency’s inspector general is investigating whether event planners and other organizers of the training for human resources employees took alcohol, concert tickets and spa treatments from vendors. Also under scrutiny are tens of thousands of dollars in promotional items the conference organizers gave attendees, government sources said.

DO YOU NOT THINK THAT THE MONEY COULD HAVE BEEN
SPENT ON WOUNDED WARRIORS & AND THOSE STILL
WAITING FOR HELP. Maybe the guy running the GSA is
also running the VA?

i don't know did they just get gifts from the vendors? if so i don't see how that could have been spent in va,, whether that is right or wrong i am not sure, i know someones head should roll for the GSA BS

They spent VA money on the conferences, accepted gifts in excess of gov. limits on freebies to gov. employees and acted like a bunch of drunken beauracrats; I won't say drunken sailors because at least drunken sailors are spending their own money, not the taxpayers!

:evilgrin: Had a Crew at a Former Vet center I attended for Groups,that were ripping off Who Ev was funding tha Place for years.Trips too D.C staying at Key Bridge Marriott at least 5 x's a Year,ordering all kinds of Food too the Vet Center saying it was for Us till I rolled up early one day tru the Back Way and saw them loading all the Good Chit in the Trunk of their Car's.I did not Snitch on them,they got Busted by an Undercover Fed acting tha Part of a Nam Vet that had PTSD...but I did make their Lives Misearble for a While putting a Hole in tha side of Their Mercedes Tires during tha Winter :devious: :iwo:

I think we need to put FistFu in as head of the GSA! No more of this pussy-footing around!
:mad: :banana:
