Thank You President Trump for keeping this very valuable Campaign Promise.
Finally Accountability at the VA
By Dan Spencer | July 11, 2017, 12:54pm | @cayankee The Department of Veterans Affairs has fired 526 employees, demoted another 27 employees and temporarily suspended an additional 194 for longer than two weeks, since President Donald J. Trump took office on January 20. That information is contained in the Adverse Actions accountability report posted on the agency’s website. The report doesn’t include the employees’ names, but shows their positions.
CBS reports that in an effort for more transparency and accountability within the VA, Secretary of Veterans Affairs David J. Shulkin announced that the list “accountability actions” will be posted and updated online weekly.
President Trump signed his Executive Order “Improving Accountability and Whistleblower Protection at the Department of Veterans Affairs” in April. Then in June President Trump signed the “Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017.” Those two actions allowed Trump to claim he kept his campaign promise to reform veterans’ health care and other services.
The President pointed out that getting this Accountability Act passed was no small accomplishment. Referring to union opposition, Trump said “this was not an easy one”:
“
We got it done. It’s a reform that I campaigned on, and now I am thrilled to be able to sign that promise into law.
