Veterans Affairs
Nicholson violated the number of political appointees that Boy-George is authorized by the U.S. Congress. In the Pelosi and Reid vernacular (appropriations), this is called fraud, waste, and abuse of federal funds. Denver VA Hospital director Lynnette Roff is a GOP “Brownie” hire. In violation of federal VA hiring laws, Roff isn’t a vet of any sorts. Denver VA Customer Service manager, Kathy Malin, falls into the same category. They both conspired with Nicholson to steal blood-loot (jobs/contracts) from those who served America, faithfully and honorably. Gonzo must have trained Nicholson in GOP federal job pilfering.
Vets like Nicholson and Gonzo, sometimes “eat their young". This was highlighted during the Swift-Boat Sailors for the non-Truth campaign. The VA is supposed to be a sanctuary for disabled vets. A bigger lie was never told. Nicholson and his predecessor, Principi, turned VA operations into a cash-cow for their GOP cronies, at the expense of vets, and their families. I am simply flabbergasted that Denver disabled vets with Purple Hearts, can’t get jobs with the VA, despite their federal 10 point hiring preference, however, corrupt VA contractors will hire these vets through the back door, with low-balled wages and benefits. The “delegater", can’t delegate his vets hiring responsibility and accountability to head-hunters and other contractor’s. I pray, ProgressNowAction, will encourage Eid to comply with his sworn oath of office. By the way, I did apply for the hospital director’s job, but like Rev. Al, I too flunked Nicholson’s hue-test.
