On the recordFebruary 9, 2016
As we learned with the project in Aurora, the VA went to great lengths to hide the significant problems with the project from the American people, insisting in congressional hearing after hearing that the project was on time and on budget. It was not until the project's contractor sued the VA--and won on every count in December of 2014--that the VA finally admitted it had significant problems with the Aurora project. I urge all of my colleagues to support this measure and continue with the long-needed construction reforms in the VA.
