U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., chairman of the Senate Committee on Veteransâ Affairs, spoke on the floor of the Senate regarding the recent committee passage of legislation aimed at increasing accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs. He was joined on the floor by fellow committee members Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Mike Rounds, R-S.D., as well as Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.
At a markup held Wednesday, the committee approved both the Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability Act of 2015 (S.1082), which gives the VA Secretary greater firing authority over bad actors in the department, and S.627, a bill that prohibits the VA from granting bonuses to underperforming employees.
Isakson delivered the following remarks on the floor of the Senate:
âAs chairman of the Veteransâ Affairs Committee in the United States Senate, I’m proud to be joined by other 
members of the committee for a colloquy and a report to the American people on the progress we’re making to hold the VA accountable for our veterans and for the taxpayers.
