Social Workers Seek State Help
KENTUCKY....
Social workers traveled to Frankfort last week in hopes of convincing Kentucky lawmakers to appropriate money to fully fund the "Boni Bill" passed by lawmakers in 2007. They also attempted to get support for an effort to reduce caseloads and review manager-to-staff ratios. The bill, intended to eliminate some of the dangers faced by social workers when making house calls, passed after the brutal murder of social worker Boni Frederick during a welfare check at a home in 2006.
