Governor Clears Charges Against Legion Aid Plan
Hartford February meeting of the State Board of Control rejected insinuations about irregularities in distributing state funds to ex service members. Officials testified that about ten percent of aid recipients are Legion members, but most are not affiliated, and no one received funds they were not entitled to. The board approved $50,000 for service members and dependents from a $180,000 pool allocated by the legislature for widows pensions, with urging support from Rev Father Cassidy and promises from Attorney General Healy and Governor Lake to proceed.
