Most of the attention focused on the Veterans Affairs Department in the last couple of years has had to do with firing people. Giving VA more flexibility to demote or get rid of people who perform poorly. But now a bill looks at something a little more positive: how to recruit and hire top talent at VA. Tim McManus, the vice president for education at the Partnership for Public Service has studied the bill, and joins Federal Drive with Tom Temin with analysis of H.R. 5526.
