An investigation into fraud involving emergency storm aid has resulted in 27 Connecticut state workers being fired, five resigning and 10 retiring early, the governors office announced today. The probe of federal aid issued after Tropical Storm Irene pounded the Northeast in August has examined 1,053 public employees so far, with 685 workers being cleared of wrongdoing, said Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, a Democrat. The 42 workers involved today could be prosecuted, though no charges have been filed yet, according to The Hartford Courant.
