What about this VA change?

Tue., Nov. 11, 2014

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers touted loud and strong her many achievements in helping veterans, particularly the Veterans Administration Hospital in her district.

The very next day, after the ballots were counted, with her as victor, the VA hospital in Spokane announced they are cutting emergency services, as well as other hospital services. Was she really instrumental in helping to make changes for the VA?

Those are changes our veterans don’t need.
