    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?

    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!

    Soooo...what's the difference between what he's doing now and being in charge of a gov. agency, except he gets to keep doing it and gets overpaid as well!

    You make that sound like a BAD thing!

    Most politicians and beauracrats would do a lot better if they kept their mouths shut (or at least didn't talk so much)! I still vote for Fist!

    I Vote for FistFu also.People in VA's are not allowed to Accept Gifts.The Truth is that People that Run-Purchasing,some are above the Law.I had A superviser that accepted a Computer Station,and was Fired for it.Meanwhile the GS-16 Guy that ran it,thought he was a God on Earth,and accepted Everything.He's Retired Now,Living the Good Life.There are Criminals in Government,Only those in high places get away with it.I'd love to be an Undercover Agent,to get these Thieves.Put Them in Chains and Feed Them Bread and Water,and Feces for Desert......It's All a Racket.Those that Do Well and Put Their Heart into Doing the Right Thing,are REplaced Soon....Word UP.........Being Scum is Contagious in GOV Work....Sorry.
