U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman is at odds again with the Veterans Administration. This time for secretly promoting the boss in charge of the grossly mishandled Aurora hospital construction.
Stella Fiotes, former boondoggle boss, is now in charge of a division of acquisition, logistics, and the one thing she is incapable of handling, construction.
Coffman blasted the promotion in a letter to the agency, to which he has only received a polite response noting his concerns, the Denver Post reported.
“I urge you to appoint a permanent principal executive director of the Office of Acquisition, Logistics, and Construction who is well qualified and untainted by scandal as quickly as possible,” Coffman wrote.
We’re not certain when this promotion actually took place, it being secret and all, but it clearly defies all logic to promote a person who totally fumbled the construction of one hospital, to lead an entire division of construction.
