Watchdog Report: VA improperly gives out nearly $11 million in bonuses

A new watchdog investigation found that Veterans Affairs improperly handed out nearly $11 million in bonuses to over 100 senior executives last year. The bonuses were supposed to help the VA recruit and retain employees to prepare for an increase in workload after the passage of the PACT Act. DC News Now's Mark Hall talks with John Byrnes. Byrnes is the strategic director for Concerned Veterans for America. Byrnes explains why more needs to be done to protect veterans.

I worked on the flight deck. I was exposed to JP5(jet fuel), hydraulic fluid, oil, and also worked in corrosion where I work with paint. I filed because of pact act and I was denied.

There service to the veteran is only exceeded by their greed

Worked in the pits of NAS defined as a Superfund site with same list of chemicals. They closed that base and did not add it to the PACT ACT locations. Am very ill now.

Meanwhile, veterans are being denied benefits. LETS GO BRANDON.

You would be hard pressed to find an actual critical skill shortage professional, based on the IG report, that has received a retention bonus. They sure were quick with these senior exec bonuses.

Government employees never held accountable. People should go to prison over things like this.
