Feds step in at Menard Correctional Center! 04/01/2011

This is not an April Fool.

Unless you having been living under a rock for the last month, you surely have heard about the investigation into the workers compensation abuse at Menard Correctional Center.  The Belleville News-Democrat have uncovered almost $10 million in workers comp claims that may have been bogus!

Check out full story here!

This newspaper has been doing a great job as they uncover more details as it pertains to this story.  Go back and check the archives on this if you want your blood to boil.

Next week IL politicians are going to start work on a workers comp reform bill.  Let’s see how this all develops.  It is unfortunate for the workers with legitimate claims to have to fall under more scrutiny…because of a group that has allegedly abused the system.  If the Feds determine that these more than 230 claims were not legitimate…get ready for some vitriol to flow from voters!

Have a great weekend, and if you like sports this is a GREAT weekend!  Enjoy the opening of a new season for Major League Baseball, the Men’s and Women’s College Basketball Final Fours and the Men’s College Hockey Frozen Four.

All the best,  Brendon
