MADISON - Sen. Tammy Baldwin is responding to an accusation that she didn't do enough to bring attention to over prescription of opiates at the VA Medical Center in Tomah.
Baldwin's office received a report on the problems in August from the Department of Veterans Affairs' inspector general. Baldwin shared the report with a constituent but didn't publicize it more widely until last week, after a report was published on the death of a Marine Corps veteran being treated at Tomah.
Baldwin then called on the VA secretary to order a comprehensive investigation at Tomah.
