E-mails show tension between vets board, Scocos
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — E-mails show tension between members of the Wisconsin Veterans Affairs Board and Department Secretary John Scocos just as the board considers whether to retain him.
Vice Chair Marcia Anderson told Scocos last week in an e-mail she was "extremely dismayed" he did not notify the board about findings of a Department of Justice investigation until the next day.
She also accused Scocos of taking too long to update the board on the agency's internal investigation into the matter.
Scocos responded that he was "taken aback by the tone" of her e-mails. He said he provided all the information requested by the board as fast as he could.
The board has called a special meeting Tuesday to consider Scocos' job performance.

Suggest removal
Sounds like the communication problems at the veterans home took their cue from the top level -- i.e. no communication, just barge ahead. If Scocos now has a soured relationship with his own oversight board he only has himself to blame.
