State Rep. Chris Pielli joined local veterans on March 14 at the historic Chester County Courthouse to oppose federal plans that would cut up to 80,000 VA positions—cuts that have already led to 2,400 layoffs—and he warned that these changes will further delay veterans' claim decisions at the Coatesville VA Medical Center.
