Last night, Congressman Mike Turner received word that the Department of Veterans Affairs has refused to make former Dayton VA Medical Center Guy Richardson available to meet with Turner and the Chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, Jeff Miller, as had been planned for Monday, March 14th.“As you know the Director can provide information about the operation of the dental clinic and the negligent care provided to veterans, which is of great interest to me and the Chairman,” Turner wrote in a letter to Secretary Shinseki on Friday evening.
The VA’s effort to stonewall Congressman Turner and the Chairman of the committee with oversight and investigative jurisdiction of the VA shows that the truth remains to be uncovered.
“The VA’s actions tonight at 5:30 p.m. are highly evasive and obstructionist. Also, when in considered in the context that Director Richardson has received a bonus and a promotion since this has come to light, I have great concern about the VA’s actions,” Turner continued.
