State senator points to failures as Illinois governor celebrates veterans home – Center Square

State Sen. Li Arellano Jr.,  a squad leader in the Army Reserves who previously served in three combat deployments, said governments can’t properly function when they rack up immense debts. “All of those things reveal themselves in the management of our agencies, and the Department of Veterans Affairs is no exception. We have seen the failures in management that aren’t even necessarily money-related at this point,” Arellano said.
