The removal of Helman demonstrates that the VA has listened to our concerns and is serious about holding accountable those who put veterans at risk. Helman has been paid over $90,000 since being placed on administrative leave. This is a completely unacceptable use of taxpayer dollars that should instead go to providing care for veterans. The VA should now install a permanent director, ensuring leadership continuity and increased stability. I will continue to urge the VA to change its culture and set a new standard of care that meets the needs of veterans and holds managers accountable when it does not.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
