First Responder Follow-up
A few weeks ago, we talked about first responders to the tragedy in Newtown. Now the state’s stepping in to help.
Yesterday, the state legislature voted unanimously to establish the Sandy Hook Workers Assistance Fund. This privately funded program will provide financial help to the roughly 150-200 teachers, first responders and others who are suffering from mental health problems as a result of the tragedy in Newtown. Today we find out more about this program.
