This past week, while testifying before a Joint Health and Welfare Committee in Frankfort, a group of social workers told state lawmakers,despite recent legislation approved under the Boni Bill of 2007, their working environment remains unsafe. Workers say they're often placed in dangerous conditions, often with little or no security backup. The bill called for $6 million to, among other things, hire more front line staff and increase security, but only $2 million went toward implementing the bill.
