Military.com | After scuttling VA overhaul, senator rolls out his plan to upgrade facilities
After effectively quashing the process by which the Department of Veterans Affairs was to update its facilities, blocking the confirmation of commissioners who would have made recommendations on closures, renovations and brand new construction, Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., has introduced legislation that would help the VA hire experts to draft a plan.
The Senate Veterans Affairs Committee chairman's bill would fund the VA to hire capital asset management experts for all of its medical centers, at the same time adding members to the VA's Capital Asset Planning Committee.
