Marchbanks criticizes Neugebauer's budget proposal
3/28/2014 - District 19 Democratic Congressional Candidate Neal Marchbanks slammed Incumbent Republican Randy Neugebauer for his testimony before the House Committee on the national budget earlier this week. Specifically, the challenger was critical of Neugebauer's proposed performance-based cuts to the Veterans' Administration.
Marchbanks, a veteran himself, said Neugebauer has called for the elimination of all bonuses for VA employees until they catch up on the back log of disability claims.

The veteran population has grown rapidly and the facilities to care for them have not kept pace with this increase. Congress controls the budget for the VA and it is the fault of Congress that the VA does not have enough employees and that the facilities are too small. {note: i.e. Those Congress Represents and are Served!}
I am a veteran and I utilize these facilities regularly, I know these employees are working hard to try to keep up with their jobs. I have nothing but respect for them. They do their jobs and try to serve a growing population with the limited resources we give them. We need a representative in Washington that will work with the VA to improve the services and facilities, not someone who will point fingers and lay blame on hardworking civil servants. read more>>>

our treasure, too" "not just in the abstract, but in the form of a
