Senator Patty Murray. Washington, in an effort to curb spending, is contemplating to find different ways to reduce VA’s spending. Staffers and possibly members of congress have considered the proposal to remove access to VA’s medical care for group 7 and 8 veterans.
Doing this, will save 11 percent of the Veteran Affairs budget. What is not as noticeable is the case that veterans have in actuality earned this through their sacrifices. “Veterans should not have this hardship brought to bear against them.”
Senator Daniel Akaka, a WW 11 veteran and an advocate for veterans is no longer the Veteran’s committee Chairman. Senator Patty Murray, the new Chairperson. Like her predecessor, also have strong military ties. Senator Murry is the first woman to hold that position and expectations are that she does well. This is of great importance to veterans, here in the Islands and out. To date the VA is still accepting registrations.
