An additional 30 state employees were implicated in the investigation into post-Irene disaster aid fraud on Thursday, bringing the total number facing disciplinary — and possibly criminal — charges to 74, according to the Connecticut Post.

Since the launch of the investigation, three of the employees have retired and one faced termination this week, a source told the CT Post.
Last month, the Malloy administration began submitting to the Department of Social Services and the Office of Labor Relations the names of state employees suspected of receiving federal aid to replace spoiled food after Tropical Storm Irene when they weren’t qualified because of their income.
Employees implicated in the investigation will face disciplinary hearings later this month, according to the CT Post.
