Override gives state workers benefits in Illinois
State mental health and developmental center workers won compensation for on duty injuries after the Senate overrode Gov. Thompson’s veto. The law covers full salary for a year, with no outside work, for injuries at facilities including Howe and Ludeman centers, Shapiro in Kankakee, and other DMHDD sites. The cost is projected at 200 000 to 300 000 dollars annually, with few other state groups pursuing similar benefits.
