The Biden administration plans to close two of the Veterans Administration hospitals in New York City — in Brooklyn and Manhattan, The Post has learned.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Rep. Nicole Malliotakis disagreed Tuesday night when she heard President Joe Biden say the state of the union is strong.
On Wednesday, Malliotakis pointed to things like rising prices at the gas pump, supply chain issues, and an uptick in crime to paint a stark contrast to the positive image Biden laid out during his first State of the Union address to Congress.
“The Biden administration created a lot of this pain that American families are feeling through their policies,” she said. “We really need to reverse course here.”

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/South Brooklyn), who voted in favor of the legislation, announced the funding in a Monday media release describing it as “long overdue.”

Unfortunately, the constituent did not have the proper documentation to show proof of her father's military service and could not receive Military Funeral Honors for him.

Several weeks ago, a local veteran contacted my office looking for assistance with receiving thousands of dollars in pension checks from the U.S. Military.
