Lawmakers in Trenton questioned Veterans
Affairs leaders about pandemic
deaths at New Jersey veterans’ homes.
More than 200 residents
died, and Republicans say -- they're still waiting for answers.
"We have to get to the
bottom of this and learn from it and make sure it never ever happens again,”
says New Jersey Assemblyman Hal Wirths. "We owe it to the veterans and the
families to all the people of the state of New Jersey what happened, and what
I've been hearing so far in the hearings is excuse after excuse after excuse.
The Murphy administration never makes any mistakes when you listen to
him."
Gov. Phil Murphy says he
wants a full examination of the state response to the pandemic.
It’s still unclear when that will begin.
