Negative reaction to the expanded VA clinic

Rep. Pena says that now that Valley veterans have had a chance to digest the information about the expanded VA clinic in Harlingen, they have decided that it is inadequate. Says Pena:

At this point I would expect the Veterans administration office or one of our senators to provide an explanation to our Veterans why a Veterans' hospital is not an option.

I imagine the reason is financial - what else could it be? - but it would be nice to hear it from one of the folks he mentions.

By the way, Pena had his first blogiversary yesterday. Congrats, and keep up the good work!
