VA’s 11-day, $221K resort stay draws scrutiny →

Some “highlights” (emphasis mine):

The conference costs were enough to pay the annual disability compensation of six totally disabled combat veterans.

Although VA spent $289 million last fiscal year and expects to spend $394 million this fiscal year on meetings and conferences, there is no requirement for the agency to provide any details about costs.

This is not OK.
