Republican Governors Implore President Obama to Reform Department of Veterans Affairs, Put Veterans First

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Six Republican governors sent a letter to President Obama urging him to act swiftly and aggressively to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs in light of ongoing reports that the Department has fallen far short of its obligation to provide American veterans with the timely, quality health care their service and sacrifice has afforded them.

Governors Rick Scott of Florida, Sam Brownback of Kansas, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Paul LePage of Maine, Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania and Rick Perry of Texas signed the letter requesting that the President initiate significant structural and procedural changes to the Department of Veterans Affairs, including partnering with states to improve oversight of Veterans Health Administration facilities.
