Names of nine more state workers suspected of cheating a federal food program meant to help poor Connecticut victims of Tropical Storm Irene have been turned over for disciplinary proceedings, the governor says.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Monday that the nine are on top of 15 other state workers under investigation for allegedly defrauding the federal supplemental nutrition program known as D-SNAP.
None of the workers has been publicly identified. However, The Hartford Courant reported Monday that one of those alleged is a Connecticut state trooper with an annual salary of more than $124,000.
