The VA failed to effectively respond to VAOIG investigations, and we need to know what, if any, steps were taken to hold people accountable and to remedy these very serious problems.\u201d\n\u00a0\nCongresswoman Sinema sent a\u00a0letter\u00a0calling on the VA to publish previously unpublished reports, memos, and documents of a similar nature for the last ten years.\n\u00a0\n###\nVAOIG 2008 Phoenix Memo", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20141024003157/http://sinema.house.gov/index.cfm/press-releases?ContentRecord_id=278C157B-EF02-432D-AA62-7B47E425E31D"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.464376924559474, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
