THE REAGAN REPORT 07/29/2014



The Deal Behind the $17B to Revamp VA
On Monday, House and Senate negotiators agreed to a $17 billion bill designed to reform the Veterans Affairs Department, setting up a scramble this week to send the legislation to President Obama's desk, The Hill reports. Just last week, talks appeared on the verge of collapse as the leaders of a conference committee — Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla. — battled over how to pay for the bill, with each side accusing the other of acting in bad faith. Those nastygrams proved more cathartic than detrimental: Two days later, Sanders advised staffers and lawmakers that a deal was imminent after a final call with Miller to settle the particulars.
