(Hartford, Conn. WTIC)-Senator Richard Blumenthal is urging a review of policies and practices at the West Haven VA Medical Center, following an explosion November 13th that killed two workers.
Blumenthal says his office received complaints that the VA was aware of life-threatening safety dangers prior to the explosion.
The explosion killed Euel Sims, 60, a former Navy veteran from Milford. Joseph O'Donnell, 36, from Danbury was a private contractor who also perished.
Senator Blumenthal has sent letters to VA Inspector general Michael J. Missal and Director of the VA Connecticut Healthcare System Alfred Montoya.
