VA suspends top official in relocation scam

Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson says acting VBA chief Danny Pummill will be suspended without pay for 15 days for his role in a relocation scam that has roiled the agency for months.

Pummill failed to exercise proper oversight as Kimberly Graves and Diana Rubens forced lower-ranking managers to accept job transfers and then stepped into the vacant positions themselves, keeping their senior-level pay while reducing their responsibilities, Gibson said Tuesday.

Graves and Rubens were reprimanded Tuesday and had their pay cut by 10 percent. The two women were reinstated to their positions last month after administrative judges overturned their demotions.

So this has been something that has been known about since the VA scandals months ago. they finally got around to doing something about it and all they did was suspend the boss for 15 days without pay... which he can appeal.
They cut the pay of the two who did it down to what they should make for the job they are doing.
No one is getting fired.

So there you have it... malfeasance with no real penalty. business as usual.

OMG, " to save taxpayer's money". Laughable. In most private sectors EVERYONE involved would have been fired.
