The fact that Ms. Fiotes is here today... is a signal to me that the VA has not changed.
I guess I can understand how this project got in the condition that it is.
Now it finally appears Colorado veterans will have the state of the art facility that they deserve.
I led the fight to strip the VA of their construction management authority.
Solutions are needed to address these significant infrastructure and capacity needs so that veterans do not continue to wait for their care.
PTSD was not included in the initial plan for the hospital.
I am very disappointed, you know, President Trump ran on the fact that he was going to clean up the Veterans Administration.
But you knew that was not correct, that the project at that time, given all the change orders, could not be built for that amount.
I disagree with that.
In terms of the primary care outpatient, obviously a tremendous reduced capacity in that.
My greatest concern is whether VA has the infrastructure in place to meet the needs of veterans in Colorado and its neighboring states.
