I am a disabled worker. I have experienced a decrease in efficiency at Workforce Safety and Insurance because everyone is watching their backs instead of taking care of the needs of injured workers. The process used to make decisions has become much more important than the final outcome, leaving people to wait for decisions for months while WSI holds a "dog and pony show" to prove they satisfied the lawyers.
I hope that Sandy Blunt returns WSI to the condition it was in before certain politicians used injured workers to try to make points with the voters. What a shameful waste of the assets of the state and the services to injured workers.
Some public apologies are due to Blunt and to injured workers.
