• VA REFORM TO BE AT THE TOP OF CLINTON'S PRIORITIES IF ELECTED - July 26, 2016

• Clinton Promises VA Reform Will Be a Top Priority If She’s Elected

  By Kellie Lunney, Government Executive

  Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Monday said that revamping the Veterans Affairs Department will be “one of my highest priorities” if she is elected in November.

  Clinton said she was “outraged” by scandals at the VA, during remarks at the annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Charlotte, N.C., but did not specifically mention holding department employees accountable or changing the disciplinary process for federal workers in the speech. She did, however, reiterate her pledge not to privatize the VA.

  “I will tell you this: We are not going to privatize the VA," said the former secretary of State. "We are going to reform it, and make it work for every single veteran in America.” The speech came on the opening day of the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
