While spinning disinformation on his campaign website Ray Boland might want to explain why the Veterans Affairs Board has zero duties.
Thanks to controversial Republican Gov. Scott Walker, the board is worthless. With no preparation for board meetings Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs secretary John Scocos has nothing to do.
Sitting on his hands with chauffeur Trepanier and lobbyist Jason Johns while they turn their backs on veterans, the Veterans Trust Fund faces insolvency from too many duplicative and unnecessary programs Boland implemented to exert total control over the agency. Consequently, Scocos’ number 1 priority was closing the loan programs.
Maybe Boland can explain why Scocos closed the programs and requested a taxpayer bailout with general purpose funds instead. Expect a huge GPR request from WDVA in the FY14-15 budget.
Meanwhile, Scocos is busily communicating with the Troupis law office that has been stringing him along while Sarah and James Troupis rack up billable hours in multiple cases Scocos filed against the board.
Alll the while Trepanier snitches on state employees for reading political blogs, Johns is telling anyone who will listen that he’s a combat vet. Apparently a blast from a roadside bomb that someone else ran over enabled Johns to go to the head of the line with a Purple Heart he put himself in for to claim disability payments for a partial hearing loss.
Since the members of Team Scocos don’t process claims or loans or seem to do much of anything to help veterans, what exactly do they do to earn their excessive state salaries and benefits?
The veterans they are supposed to serve deserve better treatment.
