Sharon Helman, the director of the Phoenix VA hospital where over 40 veterans died waiting for treatments make a tax payer funded salary of $178,345. So what happens to Helman after news breaks about lets vets die at her Phoenix VA? She gets a bonus of of $8,500 last month! Obama and Eric Shinseki basically rewarded Helman for her incompetence, as the investigation into the 40+ veteran deaths was beginning. I hope you are proud of yourself America for re-electing Obama! What’s Sharon Helman’s punishment been so far? She’s been placed on a paid leave of absence which amounts to nothing more than a tax payer funded vacation.

The director of the Phoenix VA hospital where 40 veterans died while waiting for care received an $8,500 bonus last month, according to Jeff Miller, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee.
Sharon Helman, the director of the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care System, “got an $8,500 bonus last month while there was an open [inspector general] investigation into Phoenix,” Chairman Miller told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview Wednesday.
It had been previously reported that Helman received more than $9,000 in bonus pay in 2013 on top of her annual salary of $169,900. The VA office of inspector general began investigating the Phoenix VA for wrongdoing in December 2013, months before Helman received the additional $8,500 bonus.
