Town halls on health benefits held for Hanford workers

A series of town hall meetings on healthcare benefits will be held this week for former and current Hanford workers.

Kevin Fitzgerald with the Cold War Patriots says their purpose is to be a resource for workers bringing them up-to-date on anything new or changes made by the legislature. Workers we talked with had a wide range of reasons for coming out to the first meeting Tuesday morning and how they felt about the benefits offered by the Department of Labor.
