Franklin defends huge job cuts at VA
U.S. Rep. Scott Franklin, the Republican from Lakeland, said Thursday that he supports the removal of 80,000 workers from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The wholesale cuts have been spearheaded by the administration of President Donald Trump, including the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, led by Elon Musk.
"I met with the new VA Secretary in my office last week and he laid out his plans to make the agency more accountable and efficient," Franklin said.
