We encourage the VA and this Committee to work with Mr. Lyle and Congressman DeSantis toward establishing a workable pilot program.
Ron DeSantis
The Public Record
Ron Dion DeSantis is an American politician and attorney serving as the 46th governor of Florida since January 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he previously represented Florida's 6th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2013 to 2018. DeSantis has focused on various issues during his governorship, including education reform, environmental policies, and public health initiatives, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The PAWS Act requires that, to be eligible, a veteran shall have been treated and have completed an established evidence-based treatment.
I applaud Congressman DeSantis and his staff for their energy and dedication to improving the lives of veterans.
I believe that if we pass this bill and get it up and running, I think it will save lives.
I think if we keep allowing that, I think that we are inviting the executive branch to continue to trample over Congress' powers.
I think that this idea, this is going to take, it is like climbing Mount Everest to simply put on this case, it is just not true.
I worry that the clamping down on civil society and human rights is making the situation--we are certainly not improving the situation.
I think that what is kind of at the foundation of society, are there pockets where you could actually have more liberal views about the proper role of government.
I just think that it's frustrating because if a taxpayer treated the IRS the way the IRS has treated the Congress that just wouldn't fly.
Although I didn't know it at the time, the first exposure I had to the IRS targeting scandal occurred long before that day in May 2013 when Lois Lerner publicly revealed the existence of improper targeting by the IRS.
