Suit involving vets’ retirement homes

I was reading in The Sun Herald that the director of a veterans’ home, (the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi), is retiring amid controversy. Apparently there were a multitude of complaints filed against him while he worked there.

But the part of the article that most interested me was this:

In addition, 14 veterans in a Washington, D.C., home filed a class-action law suit Tuesday against the director of the home, Tim Cox, who also oversees the officers in charge at the Gulfport facility, and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The suit alleges the new administration’s budget cuts caused them to not be able to receive adequate treatment. They said the budget cuts are a violation of a federal law that requires the homes to meet a minimum standard for health care, a Washington Post report said.

I couldn’t find any more info on the suit or on Tim Cox, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled…
