Coloradans in Congress are taking another crack at helping sick workers who say they were poisoned by their jobs at Cold War-era nuclear-weapons sites.
But the bill introduced Tuesday by Democratic Sen. Mark Udall is expected to cost $2 billion, and with concerns growing about massive federal spending, it’s unclear whether the long-proposed idea will succeed.
Udall insists it’s time to revive attempts to cut red tape for thousands of people sickened after working at nuclear sites such as Rocky Flats, northwest of Denver.
Udall’s proposal would lessen the burden on sick workers to prove their cancers were caused by work at the sites. The Associated Press
