Today, House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Chairman Mike Bost (R-Ill.), released the following statement after Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Doug Collins announced the dismissal of more than 1,000 employees:

“I trust that my friend Secretary Collins is doing the right thing for veterans and taxpayers to effectively right size and reorganize the agency to work better for the men and women it serves. As Chairman, that is my number one priority,” said Chairman Bost. “I take Secretary Collins at his word when he says there will be no impact to the delivery of care, benefits, and services for veterans with this plan. I am looking forward to working with the Trump administration to continue to make necessary improvements and efficiencies at VA to put veterans at the center of everything VA does.”
