Some North Texas veterans are concerned that the VA did not follow proper procedure when selecting the next director of the second-largest VA medical system in the country.
They said they feel the VA unfairly passed over the acting Dallas director by hiring someone from a smaller system without ever even posting the job opening.
A group of Dallas veterans who are leaders of multiple organizations want to know why acting Dallas VA Director Kendrick Brown was passed over for a permanent assignment. "Twelve years ago, we didn't have that. We were at the bottom of the barrel, this VA was, and I’m proud of what we achieved the past few years," Watterson said.The veterans backing Brown said the job opening was never posted, what they call a violation of the process laid out by the federal government.
Up until June, Cave served as the CEO of the West Texas VA Health Care System in Big Spring, which serves a much smaller community of 17,000 veterans.
