BDN reports “The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs spent about $5 million for conferences that are drawing scrutiny from Congress and the agency’s internal watchdog amid concern about potentially lavish government conferences and improper gifts to planners.”
“Months after a scandal and shake-up at the General Services Administration over a lavish conference there, Congress and the department’s inspector general are looking into two 2011 VA training conferences in Orlando, Fla., which included $52,000 for a parody video and $84,000 for promotional items such as pens.”
“A series of interviews have uncovered questionable activities and we have notified both the Secretary and Congress of these issues,” the VA inspector general’s office said in a statement issued last week. Representative Darrell Issa, the head of the House Oversight Committee, wrote Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki on August 13 seeking more details. Shinseki “will hold accountable any individuals who are found to have misused taxpayer dollars or violated our standards of conduct.”
