Congressman Mike Turner released the following statement upon the Department of Veterans Affairs missing the Friday, March 11 deadline to turnover copies of the investigation reports surrounding the events at the Dayton VA Medical Center Dental Clinic:
“Upon receipt of the initial letter to the VA authored by Senators Brown, Portman and myself requesting the investigative documents, the VA said they would comply. When I called upon then-Dayton VA Director Guy Richardson to release the reports, he said he would comply. All day today, the day of the deadline, the VA said they would have the documents in our hands by the end of the business day. To date, I have yet to receive anything but assurances on the part of the VA, all without any follow-through. Our veterans and our community deserve to learn just how these events occurred, who is responsible, and who is being held accountable. The VA thinks by not handing over these documents they can stone wall us. Make no mistake - that will not happen.”
