I look forward to working with both the Senate and the House to ensure final legislation gives us the flexibility we need.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the government office where I worked in a former life, they busted a fellow watching adult material on our network and they fired him immediately, out of a cannon. This seems to me to be a VA problem.<\/p>\n<p>Shulkin is asking Congress to give him the authority to dump the ash and trash at the VA and they should do it sooner rather than later.
