Oh my. Do I really want to look into this expanded VA mess? It had all been swept under the table by removals and firings, and now Helman brings a law suit to get her job back, and someone unwraps the garbage. She couldn’t be blamed for the wait times, but could be fired for accepting improper gifts from lobbyists.

Sharon Helman was removed from her job after the Phoenix VA became the epicenter of allegations that veterans died while waiting to see a doctor Judge also found Helman could not be fired because of the secret lists and long wait times, saying the VA did not prove that Helman was involved House VA committee chair Jeff Miller said the ruling serves as a reminder that additional Phoenix VA employees must be held accountable Dismissal was justified by acceptance of nine improper gifts from a lobbyist including airfare around the country and entry into amarathon Other gifts were a trip to Disneyland for 'what appears to be six of her family members for an 8-night stay' and $729.50 for five tickets - and parking - to an August 2013 Beyonce concert She continued to receive an $170,000 annual salary even though she was on administrative leave.
