Two notoriously corrupt employees in Puerto Rico were fired this week, indicating that more may be on the way.
One is the hospital’s CEO, DeWayne Hamlin, who offered an employee $305,000 to quit after she played a role in exposing his drug arrest.
...
The other person fired recently is a woman who took part in an armed robbery, then kept her job while she was in jail, and continued to work in the hospital’s security office while wearing an ankle bracelet.
After TheDCNF broke the story, administrators told Congress it wasn’t true and Elizabeth Rivera Rivera had been fired, before backtracking and claiming that it was impossible to fire employees for off-duty crimes.
...
The hospital has numerous other felons on staff in positions where that background is relevant, and the hospital has simply ignored questions about why. The precedent set this week may suggest that their backgrounds may finally be considered by the VA.
Unbelievable. If you want your head to explode, read the whole article.

Let's hope it's just a start.

Personally I believe this should be one of Trump's top priorities, the many combat vets still with us deserve no less.

This is why Trump was elected. We may get other stuff we don't want, but he was elected to kick over the table.
I was there yesterday for an x-ray, and my Doctor told me a momoradum has already been issued for both a wage and hiring freeze, as well as a freeze on hiring private contractors.
I overheard many of the cafeteria workers talking about it also.
They just started construction here on a new VA clinic. Does this mean they cannot hire new personel to staff it? or use any additional contractors needed for its completion?

I don't agree with you much, but absolutely in agreement on this.
