(L-R): State Representative Tim Ackert (R-8), State Representative & House Republican Leader Themis Klarides (R-114), State Representative David Yaccarino (R-87), and State Representative Bill Simanski (R-62) joined veterans at the Capitol to support SB-289, which would seek to restore $2 million in funding to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA).
“Veterans willingly sacrifice so much to ensure and protect our freedom, yet somehow they continuously get shortchanged,” said Rep. Yaccarino. “We need to stand up and stop cutting from our veterans. This is a time when we need to talk less and do more.”
