     Hi Jack, unfortunately a what was said on the tv was correct. My SO 
works for Motorola and does the maintenance on the Wade Park VA. 
hospital. While he has never seen much of the patients he has been over 
a lot of the hoptial area and it is always filthy and is falling apart. 
He also has fits about the caliber of people that they have working 
there. One of the things that the main radio console does is to operate 
the pagers and the intercom system. He has been beeped (emergency paged) 
several time late at night to go out there because the system is totaly 
dead. When he gets there he finds out the idiots have just turned off 
the radio. Even when he call after the page to find out what type of 
problem and he asks them to check if the radio is on, they tell him yes. 
The idiots can't even figure out if the radio is on or off and it has a 
big idiot on/off light on the console. He has been there several times 
when it rains and there are leaks all over the place, sometimes enough 
for it to look like the place just went through a flood.
     Right now several of the area congressmen are getting into the act 
and taking statements of other complaints from Vets that are recieving 
service there or have had. There is also another Vets hospital here but 
nothing much is being said about the Brecksville facility yet.
