Denmark Is Not The Only Place Where There Is Something Rotten

The spike in deodorant sales in Brentwood is due, at least in part, to the smell of some of it’s residents who have been attempting to steal VA Hospital land for there own personal aggrandizement while increasing nearby property values.
For 20 years, Sue Young has been the lead dog of the pack that’s been hot on the trail of VA land. The land that was donated by three families in 1888 to be used specifically for Veterans.
The old name of the pack was the, “Brentwood Home Owners Association”, the new name, which comes with smoke and mirrors, in order to reflect alignment with the VA is, “The Veterans Park Conversancy.”
With the past two Westwood VA Medical Center Directors, Chuck Dorman, and Phil Thomas, who were both replaced by the VA Secretary for theft, which is called misappropriation, when you’re a federal employee and the amount you steal exceeds $100K, the dog team was able to steal 16 acres on the VA grounds in a lease deal for no cash payment, at least no cash that was in sight.
This deal was made during the roughly 10 years of the past two Medical Center Directors, Chuck Dorman and Phil Thomas, that stole from veterans, and were simply and quietly transferred to another position within the VA Medical Center system.
Now THAT, is really a deterrent to anyone else thinking of misappropriating VA funds.
It’s like in May of ’08 when Norma J. Perez, a supervisor at a Texas VA Hospital told her therapists to classify PTSD as an adjustment disorder rather than Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in order to save the VA money by not having to pay service related benefits to deserving and entitled Veterans.
Unlike Elvis, she has never left the VA Building.
Obama, Obama, Where For Art Thou.
