Mike Coffman: “I hope that in the months and years ahead VA will be known as an organization that welcomes and encourages all employees…”

You will never change the culture of bureaucratic incompetence in the VA unless you are willing to look through those 400 positions.

The fact is, GEO is not cooperative, and so we have an incident here. There could be other incidents down the road.

This administration, the Trump administration, promised to clean up the culture of bureaucratic incompetence inside the VA. And based on this testimony today and other hearings we've had, I don't think they've made a lick of difference.

I think the county and state may be prepared to go to court to force (GEO) to comply.
