Mike Coffman: “The VA has not been transparent. It has admitted a lack of integrity.”

It’s in our interest to protect the public health of our community to be able to merely make a statement that requests or demands that (The GEO Group) comply on behalf of our residents.

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.

You have had very, very positive things and intuitive things that you have done for not only constituents in your district, but across the entire country.

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