Chuck Boyce: Fire unfit VA workers, but protect whisteblowers

Boyce supports S. 1094,the VA Accountability and Whistleblowers Protection Act, allowing VA administrators who are underperforming their duty to be held liable. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs would be given authority to assess all VA employees. "This bill is a piece of bipartisan legislation that will ensure unfit employees at the VA are terminated in addition to due process protections for whistleblowers," Boyce said.
