By Ray Hagar, Reno Gazette-Journal
Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Carson City, painted a sobering picture of the Veterans Administration on Monday at a veterans town hall meeting in Reno.

He said the lumbering and massive federal bureaucracy that takes care of the nation’s former military members needs to change issues with its management if it is ever going to improve.
“I continue to believe that real change in the Veterans Administration will not occur until you get a new culture or a new set of personnel at the mid and upper levels of management of the VA,” Amodei told a group of veterans at the California Building in Idlewild Park.
