Civil Service reform at VA supported by Rep. Scott DesJarlais

Representative DesJarlais, M.D., voted for the Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017 to improve employee accountability and protect whistleblowers at the VA. “During my listening tour across the Fourth District, Tennessee veterans spoke to me about federal health care’s broken promises,” said DesJarlais. “Tennessee heroes who put their lives on the line deserve to be at the front of the line for the best care. Unfortunately, a culture of mismanagement at the VA rewards poor performance, while preventing good employees from doing their jobs.”
