CT: Committee Rejects Plan To End Child Welfare Agency Oversight
WSHU – January 24, 2017
The plan would boost funding for DCF by more than $5 million. Under it, DCF would only need to meet six federal requirements for child care, instead of 22. DCF Commissioner Joette Katz told the Appropriations Committee that the new settlement would help avoid expensive federal court fees. “If you reject this, we will be in court and we will be looking at the end of the day at extensive litigation costs, and a determination by the court that currently we are underfunded.”
