I’d say, a little more disciplinary action should be taken against these cons.
Quote:A Department of Veterans Affairs already scandalized by health care delays, record manipulation and construction overruns got a bit more tarnished Thursday with release of an investigation showing that a boss pressured employees in Philadelphia to participate in psychic readings last year.
Quote:The investigation concluded that by pressing subordinates to attend the readings Filipov misused her authority for the private gain of Hodge and his wife.
Quote:Hodge, meanwhile, was dinged in the investigation for not reporting $20,000 in psychic income by his wife on their tax returns for 2012 and 2013, and the Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service were notified.
Quote:An East Coast area benefits director for the VA, Willie Clark, said he would explore whether disciplinary action is necessary. He said Filipov and Hodge would receive refresher ethics training and both have been admonished. "This type (of) activity will not be condoned or tolerated in this agency," Clark said.
