CT Insider: “George Logan accused of owing $52K in workers’ comp insurance in NY”

Ahead of tomorrow's debate in Connecticut's Fifth Congressional District, here's a reminder that George Logan - who is facing new scrutiny amid allegations he owes more than $50,000 in overdue workers' compensation insurance - is a threat to working families.

According to CT Insider, Logan's company "owes more than $52,000 in overdue workers' compensation penalties dating back to 2018, plus more than $5,500 in delinquent sales taxes" to New York State.

When exposed for not paying for the workers' insurance, Logan attempted to blame state officials for a "clerical error." However, the New York State Compensation Board reported sending "multiple notices" to Logan and Logan Distributors "regarding penalties, beginning with a notice of a penalty on November 5, 2018."

Logan's alleged failure to pay workers' compensation penalties is just another example of how he would put Connecticut's working families in harm's way.

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
"From spending years as a corporate lobbyist to failing to pay workers' compensation insurance for his own company, George Logan has spent years hurting working families. Logan is completely out-of-touch with the needs of Connecticut families, and that's why they'll reject his anti-worker record this November."
