Harry Teague: “It is frankly shameful that this bill needs to be enacted to get the VHA to act decently, honestly, and as common sense…”

Ladies and gentlemen, we all know the public lands of Dona Ana County are critically important to our economy and way of life in Southern New Mexico.

I simply think that it is wrong to expect someone who has served their country, and been injured as a result of that service, be penalized because we, as a government, are putting them back in uniform.

All veterans deserve to get the treatment we promised regardless of their gender.

I do not think that forcing a veteran to take money out of his pocket or her pocket while they are accessing benefits that they have earned makes sense.
