U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown has put his ideas into action in helping our veterans. He has been investigating the wait time that veterans are experiencing in getting assistance from the Veterans Administration. Ohioans know that Sen. Sherrod Brown has worked hard for working people and veterans.
Springfield News-Sun:
For years, Sen. Sherrod Brown’s office has taken complaints from
veterans about the Veterans Administration’s slow handling of disability
claims. Finally, he asked staff members to call the VA. He found they
had to wait anywhere between 28 minutes to nearly an hour....
Veterans “shouldn’t have to wait to see a doctor, they shouldn’t have
to wait to get housing, they shouldn’t have to wait to have a claim
processed,” he said.
Brown, D-Ohio, has introduced a bill that
would require the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to notify Ohio
veterans and their families of assistance available to them in filing
for VA benefits electronically. The bill would require the VA to alert
veterans about trusted third-party advocates that can help veterans
efficiently assemble complete and accurate claims. The bill has been
endorsed by the Veterans of Foreign Wars....
Sen. Sherrod Brown continues to work for all of his constituents.
•••• What is a crowd???? Even though some posts said that a recent fundraiser at the Mon Ami restaurant drew a crowd for Josh Mandel and Joe (not really a licensed plumber) Wurzelbacher, a little digging proves that to be false. In the original post announcing the upcoming event, the Beacon noted: ...Women, men and teens are welcome to the loft at Mon Ami Restaurant, 3845 E. Wine Cellar Road, Port Clinton....
According to Eventective, the Loft at MonAmi has a Max Capacity: 150. That is not a crowd.
