"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 4:15 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast-food executive Andrew Puzder withdrew his nomination to head the Labor Department on Wednesday as his support on Capitol Hill faltered. Facing criticism from both sides of the aisle, Puzder became the first Trump Cabinet pick whose nomination failed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AndyPuzder/status/831973151730958336\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puzder put out a statement on Wednesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“After careful consideration and discussions with my family, I am withdrawing my nomination for Secretary of Labor. I am honored to have been considered by President Donald Trump to lead the Department of Labor and put America’s workers and businesses back on a path to sustainable prosperity. I want to thank President Trump for his nomination. I also thank my family and my many supporters—employees, businesses, friends and people who have voiced their praise and hopeful optimism for the policies and new thinking I would have brought to America as Secretary of Labor. While I won’t be serving in the administration, I fully support the President and his highly qualified team.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ahead of his scheduled confirmation hearing on Thursday, which had been delayed several times, it became less clear that Puzder had support from his own party, facing pressure to withdraw. Several Republican senators, including Maine’s Susan Collins, Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, Georgia’s Johnny Isakson and South Carolina’s Tim Scott, signaled trouble by saying they were undecided on Puzder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement responding to Puzder’s withdrawal, Scott said, “As revelations regarding paying employees in cash, illegal immigration, and comments regarding some of the American workforce came to light, I developed serious concerns regarding his nomination.” Scott said he informed Senate GOP leadership about his reluctance to support Puzder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puzder has faced a range of criticisms, from his record running the Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.’s fast-food chains to old allegations — since retracted — of domestic abuse made by his ex-wife. More recently, Puzder disclosed he employed a housekeeper who was not in the country legally. Labor unions, which had planned to protest his nomination outside the Senate offices where the hearing was to be held, have argued a Puzder-led Labor Department would undermine their efforts to raise the federal minimum wage, expand the eligibility for overtime pay and enforce wage and hour violations, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puzder, a corporate attorney by training, was first a lawyer for CKE Restaurants, which operates Hardee’s, Carl’s Jr., Green Burrito and Red Burrito restaurants. He helped founder Carl Karcher settle an insider trading case with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In places such as north Idaho, people with similar political stripes have begun seeking each other out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Adrien Koch retired last summer from her job with FEMA in the Bay Area, she and her husband resettled in the wooded mountains of north Idaho. They had visited only a few months before on a vacation but had quickly fallen in love. For Koch, Idaho reminded her of the California she knew in the 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of like a better time that's gone by,\" Koch says. \"It's a much slower pace, [and] people are more down to earth here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koch is 62, with graying blond hair. She's sitting on the couch in her spartan living room. The house she bought in this quiet cul-de-sac is twice as big and half as expensive as the one she sold in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's only one of the reasons why she left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/512875545/515138553\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did not feel safe because of the crime that has escalated and the element that has moved out of San Francisco,\" she says. \"So the farther out you go, yes, it's less expensive, but it's also more dangerous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koch instantly felt at home in small-town Idaho. She says there are a lot of like-minded Christians. And as she's gotten older, to her surprise, she's become more conservative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've always been fearful of guns,\" Koch says. \"However, I am open now to learning, and the gun stores and gun clubs here in Coeur d' Alene are very warm and welcoming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">If you’re a conservative and you move up to Idaho from California, your vote has nearly twice as much impact.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Koch was also struck by just how many ex-pat Californians are here. They are everywhere: the gun shop owners, the retirees at the golf resorts. They hold seats on school boards and in local government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I immediately tell people, especially if they're not from California, I am not one of those people who want to change Idaho,\" Koch says. \"I love it the way it is, that's why we're here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it's long been a popular sport among longtime locals of the Mountain West to complain about the \"California-zation\" of states like Idaho, the fact is there has been a considerable demographic shift playing out in this region since the early 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was around the time of the deadly earthquakes in California. There was a lot of racial tension after the Rodney King beating. Housing costs had already been soaring, and the outmigration of Californians moving to nearby states such as Idaho really picked up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, northern Idaho counties like Kootenai have seen their population double. Even as late as 2015, the census shows that more than a quarter of all new residents moving to the state still came from California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11316896\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11316896\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"Adrien Koch, 62, sits in the bedroom of her northern Idaho home, which is twice as big and half as expensive as the one she sold in California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-800x599.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-1020x764.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-1920x1439.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-960x719.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adrien Koch, 62, sits in the bedroom of her northern Idaho home, which is twice as big and half as expensive as the one she sold in California. \u003ccite>(Kirk Siegler/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The idea that like-minded people like to live together and in some cases are seeking one another out is being put in renewed focus in the wake of the divisive 2016 presidential election. This is regardless of whether it's in the more conservative rural areas or liberal cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/14/501737150/rural-voters-played-a-big-part-in-helping-trump-defeat-clinton\">rural vote\u003c/a> in the Electoral College played a key role in the surprise election of Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Electoral College is weighted disproportionately to rural, now mostly red states like Idaho. So if you're a conservative and you move up to Idaho from California, your vote has nearly twice as much impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not lost on people like C.J. Buck, who picked up and moved his entire business — Buck Knives — from Southern California a few years back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buck says his family manufacturing business — they make hunting knives mostly — decided to leave the Golden State because business costs (primarily taxes and workers' comp premiums) were getting too high. And they didn't have to be there, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Southern California, businesses are almost treated as necessary evils,\" Buck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buck entertained an enticing tax incentive package from Portland, Oregon, but they settled on Idaho.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'No question the white flight is to flee from a multiracial situation into one in which everybody looks the same.'\u003ccite>Mary Lou Reed, former Idaho state legislator\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"We looked at Idaho as not having a major metropolitan area, [and] that would mean as a state we would stay truer to those rural understandings,\" Buck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What he means is that there isn't a major city like Portland or Los Angeles that would swing Idaho's politics to the left. Especially when it comes to minimum wage increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The beauty of Idaho is, you just never lose connection. It's the people who need the jobs who are the ones voting on the issues,\" Buck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business owners like Buck are hoping to rebuild a manufacturing economy in the region. Since the late 1980s, north Idaho has transitioned from a mostly natural resources-based economy to one that's much more dependent on services, like health care, real estate and tourism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The economy has changed enormously,\" says Mary Lou Reed, a Democrat, who represented Coeur d' Alene in the state legislature until 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reed also moved here from California, albeit in 1956. She recalls how north Idaho was once the country's top silver producer and union Democrats once ruled up until the late 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The lumber mills are all gone, the mines are shuttered down, we do not have labor unions that are active,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Kootenai County doesn't have a single Democrat in an elected office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Reed, there's one thing that no one talks about, out in the open at least, with all these demographic changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're very, very white up here,\" she says. Kootenai County is 95 percent white, according to the most recent census, compared with much of California today, where whites are in the minority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She insists race plays a factor in some people's decisions to move up here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No question the white flight is to flee from a multiracial situation into one in which everybody looks the same,\" she says. \"It's very dull.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is definitely an uncomfortable subject.

"content": "\u003cp>Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 680 people in raids across the U.S. last week, approximately three-fourths of whom had prior criminal convictions, according to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The convictions were for offenses “including, but not limited to, homicide, aggravated sexual abuse, sexual assault of a minor, lewd and lascivious acts with a child, indecent liberties with a minor, drug trafficking, battery, assault, DUI and weapons charges.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security did not specify how many of the convictions were for the most serious crimes, like homicide and sexual assault; in regional fact sheets, ICE provided more detailed information on only 15 arrested individuals. It’s also unclear whether the 75 percent statistic includes more minor crimes than the examples listed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The raids prompted an outcry from immigrant rights advocates, concerned about the scale and synchronization of the raids — which they described as unusual, despite ICE’s characterizations of the operations as “routine” — and by shifts in practice compared with previous ICE operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, last week’s ICE arrests included “collateral damage,” or people who were picked up despite not being targeted in the operations — for instance, because they were in the same place as a person who \u003cem>was \u003c/em>targeted, and did not have documentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Individuals swept up in this way are presumably among the quarter of those arrested that Kelly did not identify as having a criminal conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration activists had also expressed concern over what kinds of crimes could lead a person to be a target for deportation. Kelly’s statement notes that some of the people arrested had convictions for serious crimes such as homicide and sexual assault, but it’s not clear how many of the arrests were for those crimes and how many for crimes such as drunken driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/25/presidential-executive-order-enhancing-public-safety-interior-united\">executive order\u003c/a> on the deportation of “criminal aliens” allows a person to be targeted for deportation over \u003cem>any \u003c/em>crime. It’s unclear from Kelly’s statement whether any lower-level crimes, like immigration offenses, are included in the 75 percent tally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph Villela, the director of policy at the immigrant rights group CHIRLA, told NPR on Sunday night that his organization had reports of people being arrested in the raids who would not have been prioritized for deportation before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were individuals that had, first, no criminal conviction — second, maybe a minor conviction — but third, some of them had a previous deportation order and that was what made them a priority,” he said. “This is a shift that reflected [President Trump’s] executive order.”‘\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villela said there was a lack of transparency from ICE officials about how many people were affected by the raids, and that at one point CHIRLA’s legal team received false information about a client’s whereabouts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He described a “deficit of trust” between advocacy groups and the enforcement agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Forgive us for not believing 100 percent of what [ICE] are saying when in the field … they were not forthcoming in regards to the real numbers of individuals that were affected,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While President Trump has characterized the raids as fulfilling a campaign pledge to deport “criminals” in the country illegally, immigration officials have maintained the series of actions were just business as usual — in some cases, saying the operations were planned months in advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That discrepancy continued on Monday. During a joint news conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Trump praised Kelly and said the raids were fulfilling a campaign promise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Kelly characterized the raids as “consistent with the routine, targeted arrests carried out by ICE’s Fugitive Operations teams on a daily basis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has also said that in deporting people in the country illegally, the focus is on threats to “national security and public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement from Kelly characterized recent arrests using slightly different terms. The 680 individuals arrested “pose a threat to public safety, border security or the integrity of our nation’s immigration system,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2017 NPR.

It’s also unclear whether the 75 percent statistic includes more minor crimes than the examples listed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The raids prompted an outcry from immigrant rights advocates, concerned about the scale and synchronization of the raids — which they described as unusual, despite ICE’s characterizations of the operations as “routine” — and by shifts in practice compared with previous ICE operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, last week’s ICE arrests included “collateral damage,” or people who were picked up despite not being targeted in the operations — for instance, because they were in the same place as a person who \u003cem>was \u003c/em>targeted, and did not have documentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Kelly’s statement notes that some of the people arrested had convictions for serious crimes such as homicide and sexual assault, but it’s not clear how many of the arrests were for those crimes and how many for crimes such as drunken driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/25/presidential-executive-order-enhancing-public-safety-interior-united\">executive order\u003c/a> on the deportation of “criminal aliens” allows a person to be targeted for deportation over \u003cem>any \u003c/em>crime. It’s unclear from Kelly’s statement whether any lower-level crimes, like immigration offenses, are included in the 75 percent tally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph Villela, the director of policy at the immigrant rights group CHIRLA, told NPR on Sunday night that his organization had reports of people being arrested in the raids who would not have been prioritized for deportation before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were individuals that had, first, no criminal conviction — second, maybe a minor conviction — but third, some of them had a previous deportation order and that was what made them a priority,” he said. “This is a shift that reflected [President Trump’s] executive order.”‘\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villela said there was a lack of transparency from ICE officials about how many people were affected by the raids, and that at one point CHIRLA’s legal team received false information about a client’s whereabouts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He described a “deficit of trust” between advocacy groups and the enforcement agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Forgive us for not believing 100 percent of what [ICE] are saying when in the field … they were not forthcoming in regards to the real numbers of individuals that were affected,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While President Trump has characterized the raids as fulfilling a campaign pledge to deport “criminals” in the country illegally, immigration officials have maintained the series of actions were just business as usual — in some cases, saying the operations were planned months in advance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That discrepancy continued on Monday. During a joint news conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Trump praised Kelly and said the raids were fulfilling a campaign promise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Kelly characterized the raids as “consistent with the routine, targeted arrests carried out by ICE’s Fugitive Operations teams on a daily basis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has also said that in deporting people in the country illegally, the focus is on threats to “national security and public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement from Kelly characterized recent arrests using slightly different terms. The 680 individuals arrested “pose a threat to public safety, border security or the integrity of our nation’s immigration system,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2017 NPR.

DeVos was dismissive of the idea in her hearing: \"There's nothing in life that's truly free.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>On for-profit colleges:\u003c/strong> During the Obama administration, the department, along with the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, went after many for-profit colleges, with allegations of fraud and predatory lending. Two were forced to shut down: Corinthian Colleges and ITT Technical Institute. Meanwhile, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2015/06/08/412024783/the-forces-behind-the-decline-of-for-profit-colleges\" target=\"_blank\">gainful employment rule\u003c/a> required colleges to demonstrate that they were preparing a significant percentage of their students for the job market. When questioned by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., DeVos said she would \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/davidhalperin/devos-declines-to-support_b_14235348.html\" target=\"_blank\">\"review\" rather than uphold that rule\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the K-12 side\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The headline here is: More state decision-making power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regular readers of our NPR Ed blog know that the main K-12 education law was reauthorized last year as the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/01/13/500421608/obamas-impact-on-americas-schools\" target=\"_blank\">Every Student Succeeds Act, ESSA, which covers annual testing, among other things\u003c/a>. The new law gave more authority to the states, at the expense of the federal government, to identify and remedy failing schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has already paused the process of ESSA implementation. Republicans in Congress have moved to use a little-known law called the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/26/511745408/how-a-law-is-implemented-depends-on-a-presidents-rules\" target=\"_blank\">Congressional Review Act\u003c/a> to throw out the new accountability rules altogether. That leaves states in a situation that some Democrats and advocates have dubbed \"chaos and delay.\" Other groups, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nga.org/cms/home/col2-content/content-list/news-list/content-reference-1@/governors-congress-education.html\" target=\"_blank\">National Governors Association\u003c/a>, have said they welcome having still more authority at the state level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some civil rights advocates have raised concerns that, in the absence of a strong federal hand, some states will be less vigilant than others in identifying and correcting historic educational inequities of race and class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos' responses to Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., in \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2017/01/30/here-are-betsys-devoss-answers-to-139-questions-from-democratic-sen-murray/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.423f8e6aec8b\" target=\"_blank\">her controversial written questionnaire\u003c/a>, indicate that she comes down on the side of states' rights: \"It is necessary and critical for states to have flexibility to determine how to identify and improve schools.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos' department may take a leaf from \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2010/07/28/128822057/-race-to-the-top-incentivizes-reforms-secretary-of-education-tells-npr\" target=\"_blank\">Arne Duncan\u003c/a>'s book and set up a competitive grant program that encourages states to expand school choice.

Three issues that may come up early in a DeVos Education Department: the role of for-profits, college costs and enforcement of Title IX (which governs sex discrimination, including sexual assault cases).\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>On Title IX:\u003c/strong> DeVos said in her hearing that it would \u003ca href=\"http://www.teenvogue.com/story/betsy-devos-confirmation-hearing-title-ix-concerns\" target=\"_blank\">be \"premature\" to say \u003c/a>she would uphold a 2011 rule that requires colleges to take an active role to prevent sexual assault.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>On college costs:\u003c/strong> \"Free tuition\" proposals drew a lot of Democratic fans during the presidential campaign. DeVos was dismissive of the idea in her hearing: \"There's nothing in life that's truly free.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>On for-profit colleges:\u003c/strong> During the Obama administration, the department, along with the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, went after many for-profit colleges, with allegations of fraud and predatory lending. Two were forced to shut down: Corinthian Colleges and ITT Technical Institute. Meanwhile, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2015/06/08/412024783/the-forces-behind-the-decline-of-for-profit-colleges\" target=\"_blank\">gainful employment rule\u003c/a> required colleges to demonstrate that they were preparing a significant percentage of their students for the job market. When questioned by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., DeVos said she would \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/davidhalperin/devos-declines-to-support_b_14235348.html\" target=\"_blank\">\"review\" rather than uphold that rule\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the K-12 side\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The headline here is: More state decision-making power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regular readers of our NPR Ed blog know that the main K-12 education law was reauthorized last year as the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/01/13/500421608/obamas-impact-on-americas-schools\" target=\"_blank\">Every Student Succeeds Act, ESSA, which covers annual testing, among other things\u003c/a>. The new law gave more authority to the states, at the expense of the federal government, to identify and remedy failing schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has already paused the process of ESSA implementation. Republicans in Congress have moved to use a little-known law called the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/26/511745408/how-a-law-is-implemented-depends-on-a-presidents-rules\" target=\"_blank\">Congressional Review Act\u003c/a> to throw out the new accountability rules altogether. That leaves states in a situation that some Democrats and advocates have dubbed \"chaos and delay.\" Other groups, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nga.org/cms/home/col2-content/content-list/news-list/content-reference-1@/governors-congress-education.html\" target=\"_blank\">National Governors Association\u003c/a>, have said they welcome having still more authority at the state level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some civil rights advocates have raised concerns that, in the absence of a strong federal hand, some states will be less vigilant than others in identifying and correcting historic educational inequities of race and class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos' responses to Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., in \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2017/01/30/here-are-betsys-devoss-answers-to-139-questions-from-democratic-sen-murray/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.423f8e6aec8b\" target=\"_blank\">her controversial written questionnaire\u003c/a>, indicate that she comes down on the side of states' rights: \"It is necessary and critical for states to have flexibility to determine how to identify and improve schools.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos' department may take a leaf from \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2010/07/28/128822057/-race-to-the-top-incentivizes-reforms-secretary-of-education-tells-npr\" target=\"_blank\">Arne Duncan\u003c/a>'s book and set up a competitive grant program that encourages states to expand school choice.

The Southern California city is home to one of the largest concentrations of post-9/11 veterans, and when the Veterans Choice Act passed, the San Diego VA had some of the country's worst wait times for mental health care in particular. The act was meant to help former soldiers like Charlie Grijalva, who was diagnosed with PTSD when he was still in the Army.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in 2014, Grijalva lived with his wife, Gloria, in Imperial Valley — about two hours from the VA hospital in San Diego. After spending 18 months deployed in Afghanistan, and a year in Iraq, he started having suicidal thoughts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VA tried to help him. Early in 2014, the doctors there seemed to get his prescription right. By summer, his psychiatrist had left the VA, but Grijalva was transferred to a nurse practitioner. He missed an appointment in September 2014, according to records provided by the VA, but the new provider agreed to refill his prescription over the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because San Diego's wait times were so long, under the new Choice program, Grijalva qualified to see a private doctor outside the VA system. He had an initial consultation with the private psychiatrist near his home, but he didn't live to begin treatment. In December 2014, his medication ran out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grijalva had a young family and a new baby on the way. His wife said he insisted on giving his kids a magical Christmas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said, you know, 'I want to do what I did as a kid,' \" Gloria Grijalva said. \"Play some Christmas music. Have the kids decorate the tree, drink hot chocolate. ... Even though he was feeling the way he was, he wanted to have that kind of Christmas for his kids.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't to be. A few days before Christmas, his wife found him. He had hanged himself a few hours after he texted her, \"I love you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He has told me when he was at his lowest that [he] 'didn't want my kids to see me like this; I don't want to put my kids through this,' \" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His VA records show Grijalva went to one last appointment at the VA in San Diego, scheduled in December. His medication arrived just before his death. Around the time of his death, the VA was just beginning to implement the Veterans Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego seemed like a prime candidate to get extra staff. But the NPR and local member station analysis of the VA's own data show that San Diego got far fewer new staff members than it requested, and also fewer than many other VA centers that didn't have such bad wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11298363\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-800x730.jpg\" alt=\"AddlStaffVA\" width=\"800\" height=\"730\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-160x146.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-240x219.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-375x342.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-520x475.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No logical staffing pattern\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VA data show no logical pattern for distributing the 12,000 doctors, nurses and other medical staff hired under the Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Shulkin became head of the Veterans Health Administration after that law passed, but has been overseeing the reform since 2015. Last fall, he told NPR that the Choice hires were based on a survey of VA medical centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our goal is to get [the medical centers] the health professionals that they need. So that's the Choice money. We wanted everybody to go out and execute on it, and to use that money as quickly as possible because we have a sense of crisis,\" said Shulkin, who has been nominated to become secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. His confirmation hearing is expected this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said the VA focused on places where the staff was most needed. Thirty-three medical centers were \"prioritized\" among the VA's 168 hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the VA data show that prioritized medical centers didn't always get more resources than others. Los Angeles was prioritized and got only about 108 new hires from the Choice money. Dallas, a similarly large center, got almost three times as many (298), even though Dallas was not \"prioritized\" and didn't have particularly bad wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11298376\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-800x790.jpg\" alt=\"AddlVAstaff\" width=\"800\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-160x158.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-240x237.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-375x370.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-520x514.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Cincinnati have about the same volume of appointments. But Albuquerque had among the worst wait times in the country for mental health, while Cincinnati was among the best. The VA's data show both received the same number of psychiatrists from the Choice money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wait times across the board have not come down, though the VA says that's because of a continuing surge in demand from patients. And Shulkin stressed that wait times are not the most important measure of health care. He says efficiency is up and the number of veterans waiting for urgent care has shrunk from tens of thousands to a mere dozen or two. Still, it was the long wait times — and the harm they did to veterans — that drove Congress to pass the Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Slow hiring in a tough market\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors and nurses are scarce nationwide. In the economic centers where many vets live, medical professionals often find better offers at private hospitals. And in rural or remote areas, there often are very few doctors or nurses available to work at either VA or private hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shulkin knows that his hiring process is cumbersome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The complexity of hiring puts us at a disadvantage with the private sector. We are very fortunate that people wait and turn down private sector jobs because this is where they want to work and this is the mission ... but frankly we have to be competitive,\" he told NPR last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shulkin came to the VA from the private sector, he said, to get the department in step with best practices. He has succeeded in getting some salaries up to private-sector levels. But the roughly $2.5 billion from the Choice Act resulted in a net gain of only a few thousand doctors and nurses, across a system that serves about 9 million veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11298308\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11298308\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-800x503.jpg\" alt=\"Secretary of Veterans' Affairs-designate David Shulkin testifies during a Senate confirmation hearing on February 1, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-800x503.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-1020x642.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-1180x742.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-960x604.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-240x151.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-375x236.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-520x327.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Secretary of Veterans Affairs-designate David Shulkin testifies during a Senate confirmation hearing on Feb. 1, 2017. \u003ccite>(ZACH GIBSON/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That's partly because the VA's process is so slow that about 13 percent of candidates drop out during the months-long lag time after they are hired. NPR and local member stations spoke with more than half a dozen current VA employees about this problem, but none agreed to be quoted. Almetta Pitts is a former VA employee who used to work at the VA in Seattle. Waiting to start that job nearly left her broke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It took about six months. And so I had to think about ways to just put my money together to be able to really be able to pursue this job,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pitts liked the VA. She interned at the VA in Seattle while pursuing her master's in social work. Her mother, an Army vet, was already working there as a federal police officer. After a series of interviews, Pitts was notified she had been hired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I received my acceptance letter and it did inform me that I started that September and I was like 'Oh my gosh, I'm so excited,' but ... 'Wow, it's like May.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the four months of waiting, Pitts moved back in with her mom to save money until the job started. She ended up working for the VA for 13 months and was laid off. At the time, Human Resources offered to help find another job at a VA out of state. She loved her work helping traumatized veterans, but Pitts decided she had to move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Budget shuffling\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another reason the $2.5 billion bump didn't seem to raise the VA's staffing levels may have more to do with Washington bureaucracy than health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR found that the rate of increase in VA staff after the Choice money was not noticeably different than past years without it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Choice hiring money from Congress mostly replaced, instead of augmented, the VA's normal hiring budget, which freed up less restricted money to take care of other needs. Shulkin defends how the money was spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you're given a budget you face a number of new stresses on those resources. You have increases in pharmaceuticals, you have your wage increase, you have your leasing cost increases, you have IT increases. So without the Choice money, we would not have been able to have maintained the type of hiring that we were doing and expanded the type of hiring we were doing,\" Shulkin told NPR in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sort of budgeting strategy is common in Washington, according to Phil Carter, of the Center for New American Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It makes complete sense for a self-interested bureaucracy to hire with that money first. I think VA hired staff with this money will all intention of improving access and quality. I think the VA leadership found it harder to do that,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter says that the VA has a difficult time projecting what needs it will have across a system of 168 hospitals nationwide, and that the VA may just have been hiring at its maximum capacity in a tough market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But I don't see malice here, just the basic inefficacy of American bureaucracy,\" Carter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some Republicans in Congress do see something more malicious — a shell game to free up money from congressional restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the House Committee on Veterans Affairs said: \"It was a money grab, with no plan on where to put people, and VA used the funds to fill existing vacancies for the most part.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Juan Elosua contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of a project we're calling \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/363340041/back-at-base\">Back at Base,\u003c/a>\"\u003cem> in which NPR — along with public radio stations around the country — is chronicling the lives of America's troops where they live.\u003c/em>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

After spending 18 months deployed in Afghanistan, and a year in Iraq, he started having suicidal thoughts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VA tried to help him. Early in 2014, the doctors there seemed to get his prescription right. By summer, his psychiatrist had left the VA, but Grijalva was transferred to a nurse practitioner. He missed an appointment in September 2014, according to records provided by the VA, but the new provider agreed to refill his prescription over the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because San Diego's wait times were so long, under the new Choice program, Grijalva qualified to see a private doctor outside the VA system. He had an initial consultation with the private psychiatrist near his home, but he didn't live to begin treatment. In December 2014, his medication ran out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grijalva had a young family and a new baby on the way. His wife said he insisted on giving his kids a magical Christmas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said, you know, 'I want to do what I did as a kid,' \" Gloria Grijalva said. \"Play some Christmas music. Have the kids decorate the tree, drink hot chocolate. ... Even though he was feeling the way he was, he wanted to have that kind of Christmas for his kids.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't to be. A few days before Christmas, his wife found him. He had hanged himself a few hours after he texted her, \"I love you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He has told me when he was at his lowest that [he] 'didn't want my kids to see me like this; I don't want to put my kids through this,' \" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His VA records show Grijalva went to one last appointment at the VA in San Diego, scheduled in December. His medication arrived just before his death. Around the time of his death, the VA was just beginning to implement the Veterans Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego seemed like a prime candidate to get extra staff. But the NPR and local member station analysis of the VA's own data show that San Diego got far fewer new staff members than it requested, and also fewer than many other VA centers that didn't have such bad wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11298363\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-800x730.jpg\" alt=\"AddlStaffVA\" width=\"800\" height=\"730\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-160x146.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-240x219.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-375x342.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlStaffVA-520x475.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No logical staffing pattern\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VA data show no logical pattern for distributing the 12,000 doctors, nurses and other medical staff hired under the Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Shulkin became head of the Veterans Health Administration after that law passed, but has been overseeing the reform since 2015. Last fall, he told NPR that the Choice hires were based on a survey of VA medical centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our goal is to get [the medical centers] the health professionals that they need. So that's the Choice money. We wanted everybody to go out and execute on it, and to use that money as quickly as possible because we have a sense of crisis,\" said Shulkin, who has been nominated to become secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. His confirmation hearing is expected this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said the VA focused on places where the staff was most needed. Thirty-three medical centers were \"prioritized\" among the VA's 168 hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the VA data show that prioritized medical centers didn't always get more resources than others. Los Angeles was prioritized and got only about 108 new hires from the Choice money. Dallas, a similarly large center, got almost three times as many (298), even though Dallas was not \"prioritized\" and didn't have particularly bad wait times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11298376\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-800x790.jpg\" alt=\"AddlVAstaff\" width=\"800\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-160x158.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-240x237.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-375x370.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-520x514.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-50x50.jpg 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/AddlVAstaff-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Cincinnati have about the same volume of appointments. But Albuquerque had among the worst wait times in the country for mental health, while Cincinnati was among the best. The VA's data show both received the same number of psychiatrists from the Choice money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wait times across the board have not come down, though the VA says that's because of a continuing surge in demand from patients. And Shulkin stressed that wait times are not the most important measure of health care. He says efficiency is up and the number of veterans waiting for urgent care has shrunk from tens of thousands to a mere dozen or two. Still, it was the long wait times — and the harm they did to veterans — that drove Congress to pass the Choice Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Slow hiring in a tough market\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors and nurses are scarce nationwide. In the economic centers where many vets live, medical professionals often find better offers at private hospitals. And in rural or remote areas, there often are very few doctors or nurses available to work at either VA or private hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shulkin knows that his hiring process is cumbersome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The complexity of hiring puts us at a disadvantage with the private sector. We are very fortunate that people wait and turn down private sector jobs because this is where they want to work and this is the mission ... but frankly we have to be competitive,\" he told NPR last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shulkin came to the VA from the private sector, he said, to get the department in step with best practices. He has succeeded in getting some salaries up to private-sector levels. But the roughly $2.5 billion from the Choice Act resulted in a net gain of only a few thousand doctors and nurses, across a system that serves about 9 million veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11298308\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11298308\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-800x503.jpg\" alt=\"Secretary of Veterans' Affairs-designate David Shulkin testifies during a Senate confirmation hearing on February 1, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-800x503.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-1020x642.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-1180x742.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-960x604.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-240x151.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-375x236.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/Shulkin-520x327.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Secretary of Veterans Affairs-designate David Shulkin testifies during a Senate confirmation hearing on Feb. 1, 2017. \u003ccite>(ZACH GIBSON/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That's partly because the VA's process is so slow that about 13 percent of candidates drop out during the months-long lag time after they are hired. NPR and local member stations spoke with more than half a dozen current VA employees about this problem, but none agreed to be quoted. Almetta Pitts is a former VA employee who used to work at the VA in Seattle. Waiting to start that job nearly left her broke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It took about six months. And so I had to think about ways to just put my money together to be able to really be able to pursue this job,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pitts liked the VA. She interned at the VA in Seattle while pursuing her master's in social work. Her mother, an Army vet, was already working there as a federal police officer. After a series of interviews, Pitts was notified she had been hired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I received my acceptance letter and it did inform me that I started that September and I was like 'Oh my gosh, I'm so excited,' but ... 'Wow, it's like May.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the four months of waiting, Pitts moved back in with her mom to save money until the job started. She ended up working for the VA for 13 months and was laid off. At the time, Human Resources offered to help find another job at a VA out of state. She loved her work helping traumatized veterans, but Pitts decided she had to move on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Budget shuffling\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another reason the $2.5 billion bump didn't seem to raise the VA's staffing levels may have more to do with Washington bureaucracy than health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR found that the rate of increase in VA staff after the Choice money was not noticeably different than past years without it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Choice hiring money from Congress mostly replaced, instead of augmented, the VA's normal hiring budget, which freed up less restricted money to take care of other needs. Shulkin defends how the money was spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you're given a budget you face a number of new stresses on those resources. You have increases in pharmaceuticals, you have your wage increase, you have your leasing cost increases, you have IT increases. So without the Choice money, we would not have been able to have maintained the type of hiring that we were doing and expanded the type of hiring we were doing,\" Shulkin told NPR in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sort of budgeting strategy is common in Washington, according to Phil Carter, of the Center for New American Security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It makes complete sense for a self-interested bureaucracy to hire with that money first. I think VA hired staff with this money will all intention of improving access and quality. I think the VA leadership found it harder to do that,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter says that the VA has a difficult time projecting what needs it will have across a system of 168 hospitals nationwide, and that the VA may just have been hiring at its maximum capacity in a tough market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But I don't see malice here, just the basic inefficacy of American bureaucracy,\" Carter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some Republicans in Congress do see something more malicious — a shell game to free up money from congressional restrictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the House Committee on Veterans Affairs said: \"It was a money grab, with no plan on where to put people, and VA used the funds to fill existing vacancies for the most part.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR's Juan Elosua contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of a project we're calling \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/363340041/back-at-base\">Back at Base,\u003c/a>\"\u003cem> in which NPR — along with public radio stations around the country — is chronicling the lives of America's troops where they live.\u003c/em>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Four senators who caucus with the Democrats crossed the aisle and joined all of the Republicans in voting for Tillerson. They were Democrats Mark Warner of Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, as well as independent Angus King of Maine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tillerson, the former head of Exxon Mobil — the world’s largest and most powerful oil company — will now guide American foreign policy and be tasked with enacting Trump’s world view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That world view, however, isn’t entirely clear. Trump has expressed nationalistic and protectionist views and even isolationist tendencies, but he has also said the U.S. needs to do more about ISIS. He has promised to “bomb the s*** out of them” and suggested it \u003ca href=\"http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/election/2016/03/10/gop-debate-12-isis-va/81627892/\">could potentially take 30,000\u003c/a> troops to defeat them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”jwqUrI9fE2J8t6xoHQCYNWIbq8TONRXG”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to his \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/01/27/511861645/trumps-immigration-freeze-omits-those-linked-to-deadly-attacks-in-u-s\">controversial travel ban \u003c/a>instituted in the first days of his presidency, Trump has ordered the U.S. out of trade deals, threatened import tariffs with America’s adversaries (China) and allies (Mexico), questioned the importance of NATO, praised Russian President Vladimir Putin, said he thinks torture works and, during the campaign, floated the idea (that he \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/nov/14/donald-trump/donald-trump-wrongly-tweets-he-never-said-more-cou/\">later seemed to walk back\u003c/a>) that perhaps more countries should have nuclear weapons to defend themselves without help from the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tillerson will be tasked with defending the United States under Trump around the globe, while walking the line when he disagrees. Tillerson faced tough questioning from Republicans and was almost derailed because of his relationship with Putin. But Tillerson talked tough in those hearings about Russia and, unlike Trump, said he fully believes Russia was responsible for the hacks and leaks of the Democratic emails during the presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tillerson, who has no diplomatic experience aside from his myriad international business ties as Exxon Mobil’s chief, will be tasked with overseeing the State Department bureaucracy. He is not well-known in the State Department, but those who have briefed him are sounding fairly upbeat about his management style. As CEO of Exxon Mobil, he oversaw a vast company with employees working in dozens of countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference is that Exxon Mobil has one goal: drilling for oil and making money for shareholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/511851709/511851710\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His job at the State Department may be especially complicated by apparent unrest in the ranks. NPR has reported that some 900 State Department officials \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/26/511851709/career-diplomats-leave-state-department-as-trump-presidency-begins\">signed a letter \u003c/a>that went viral within the agency decrying Trump’s visa and refugee ban as not making America safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the White House isn’t making the task of internal diplomacy any easier for Tillerson. White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Tuesday urged American diplomats to “get with the program” or go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But dissent is ingrained in State Department culture. In fact, the American Foreign Service Association, the professional association, \u003ca href=\"http://www.afsa.org/constructive-dissent-awards\">gives awards every year for it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department’s manual says there can be no retribution for employees who use the dissent channel, and some in Congress concerned about Spicer’s comments are now looking into ways to codify those protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”XEz0ChQxpUCkwX81sX1ga7j78oebjk2B”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, though, doesn’t exactly welcome dissent. While the new president is known for surrounding himself with differing factions — and even appeared to encourage his Cabinet nominees to have different points of view in their confirmation hearings — he also fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, an Obama holdover at the Justice Department, for speaking out against and refusing to defend the travel ban. And he said he has a “running war with the media.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So much of the media seems to be the opposition party,” Trump said Wednesday, echoing his chief strategist Steve Bannon. He added, “They’re very dishonest people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the State Department, Tillerson will be hearing from diplomats who are worried about where the Trump administration is heading and whether he and Trump will overlook human rights abuses in countries where Americans want to do business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/512799958/512799959\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the mood in the State Department is uneasy. The Trump administration nudged out several professional diplomats even before naming anyone to replace them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example is Tom Countryman, a career foreign service officer who was acting undersecretary for arms control. He was on \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/02/01/512799958/outgoing-state-department-official-urges-colleagues-to-stay-and-serve\">NPR’s Morning Edition\u003c/a> Wednesday, where he echoed a very powerful retirement speech he gave Tuesday to the State Department. He noted that State employees proudly serve in both Republican and Democratic administrations and implied they are feeling sidelined now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still have a duty,” he told the State employees. “You have a duty — to stay and give your best professional guidance, with loyalty, to the new administration, because a foreign policy without professionals is — by definition — an amateur foreign policy. You will help to frame and make the choices. Because that is what we do. Our work is little understood by our fellow Americans, a fact that is sometimes exploited for political purpose. When I have the opportunity to speak to audiences across this amazing land, I explain, ‘We do not have a Department of State, we do not have a foreign policy, because we love foreigners. We do it because we love Americans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said something that directly relates to Trump (and perhaps even Tillerson). Countryman drew a distinction between business and diplomacy, and he seemed to dispute Trump’s foundational view of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Business made America great, as it always has been,” Countryman said, “and business leaders are among our most important partners. But let’s be clear: Despite the similarities — a dog is not a cat; baseball is not football; and diplomacy is not a business. Human rights are not a business. And democracy is, most assuredly, not a business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “We want Americans to prosper, to sell the world’s best food and the world’s best products everywhere in the world. We want Americans to be protected and safe when they are abroad, whether they are missionaries, tourists, students, businessmen or (for those of you who have done consular work) the occasional false Messiah.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

Four senators who caucus with the Democrats crossed the aisle and joined all of the Republicans in voting for Tillerson. They were Democrats Mark Warner of Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, as well as independent Angus King of Maine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tillerson, the former head of Exxon Mobil — the world’s largest and most powerful oil company — will now guide American foreign policy and be tasked with enacting Trump’s world view.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That world view, however, isn’t entirely clear. Trump has expressed nationalistic and protectionist views and even isolationist tendencies, but he has also said the U.S. needs to do more about ISIS. He has promised to “bomb the s*** out of them” and suggested it \u003ca href=\"http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/election/2016/03/10/gop-debate-12-isis-va/81627892/\">could potentially take 30,000\u003c/a> troops to defeat them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to his \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/01/27/511861645/trumps-immigration-freeze-omits-those-linked-to-deadly-attacks-in-u-s\">controversial travel ban \u003c/a>instituted in the first days of his presidency, Trump has ordered the U.S. out of trade deals, threatened import tariffs with America’s adversaries (China) and allies (Mexico), questioned the importance of NATO, praised Russian President Vladimir Putin, said he thinks torture works and, during the campaign, floated the idea (that he \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/nov/14/donald-trump/donald-trump-wrongly-tweets-he-never-said-more-cou/\">later seemed to walk back\u003c/a>) that perhaps more countries should have nuclear weapons to defend themselves without help from the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tillerson faced tough questioning from Republicans and was almost derailed because of his relationship with Putin. But Tillerson talked tough in those hearings about Russia and, unlike Trump, said he fully believes Russia was responsible for the hacks and leaks of the Democratic emails during the presidential campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tillerson, who has no diplomatic experience aside from his myriad international business ties as Exxon Mobil’s chief, will be tasked with overseeing the State Department bureaucracy. He is not well-known in the State Department, but those who have briefed him are sounding fairly upbeat about his management style. As CEO of Exxon Mobil, he oversaw a vast company with employees working in dozens of countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference is that Exxon Mobil has one goal: drilling for oil and making money for shareholders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/511851709/511851710\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His job at the State Department may be especially complicated by apparent unrest in the ranks. NPR has reported that some 900 State Department officials \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/26/511851709/career-diplomats-leave-state-department-as-trump-presidency-begins\">signed a letter \u003c/a>that went viral within the agency decrying Trump’s visa and refugee ban as not making America safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the White House isn’t making the task of internal diplomacy any easier for Tillerson. White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Tuesday urged American diplomats to “get with the program” or go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But dissent is ingrained in State Department culture. In fact, the American Foreign Service Association, the professional association, \u003ca href=\"http://www.afsa.org/constructive-dissent-awards\">gives awards every year for it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department’s manual says there can be no retribution for employees who use the dissent channel, and some in Congress concerned about Spicer’s comments are now looking into ways to codify those protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, though, doesn’t exactly welcome dissent. While the new president is known for surrounding himself with differing factions — and even appeared to encourage his Cabinet nominees to have different points of view in their confirmation hearings — he also fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, an Obama holdover at the Justice Department, for speaking out against and refusing to defend the travel ban. And he said he has a “running war with the media.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So much of the media seems to be the opposition party,” Trump said Wednesday, echoing his chief strategist Steve Bannon. He added, “They’re very dishonest people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the State Department, Tillerson will be hearing from diplomats who are worried about where the Trump administration is heading and whether he and Trump will overlook human rights abuses in countries where Americans want to do business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/512799958/512799959\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, the mood in the State Department is uneasy. The Trump administration nudged out several professional diplomats even before naming anyone to replace them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example is Tom Countryman, a career foreign service officer who was acting undersecretary for arms control. He was on \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/02/01/512799958/outgoing-state-department-official-urges-colleagues-to-stay-and-serve\">NPR’s Morning Edition\u003c/a> Wednesday, where he echoed a very powerful retirement speech he gave Tuesday to the State Department. He noted that State employees proudly serve in both Republican and Democratic administrations and implied they are feeling sidelined now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still have a duty,” he told the State employees. “You have a duty — to stay and give your best professional guidance, with loyalty, to the new administration, because a foreign policy without professionals is — by definition — an amateur foreign policy. You will help to frame and make the choices. Because that is what we do. Our work is little understood by our fellow Americans, a fact that is sometimes exploited for political purpose. When I have the opportunity to speak to audiences across this amazing land, I explain, ‘We do not have a Department of State, we do not have a foreign policy, because we love foreigners. We do it because we love Americans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said something that directly relates to Trump (and perhaps even Tillerson). Countryman drew a distinction between business and diplomacy, and he seemed to dispute Trump’s foundational view of America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Business made America great, as it always has been,” Countryman said, “and business leaders are among our most important partners. But let’s be clear: Despite the similarities — a dog is not a cat; baseball is not football; and diplomacy is not a business. Human rights are not a business. And democracy is, most assuredly, not a business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “We want Americans to prosper, to sell the world’s best food and the world’s best products everywhere in the world. We want Americans to be protected and safe when they are abroad, whether they are missionaries, tourists, students, businessmen or (for those of you who have done consular work) the occasional false Messiah.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Median incomes for California Latinos rose more than $5,000 annually, and the poverty level dropped 2.4 percentage points (a larger dip than for the state's non-Hispanic white households).
