New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, at a crowded ceremony today in Albany, signed a workers' compensation reform bill to fix what he referred to as a "long broken" system.
The measure, worked out by the governor's office with the legislature and representatives from business and labor, has been welcomed by insurance interests, who have at the same time cautioned that many of its details have been left to study groups to settle.
Legislators from both parties voiced support for the new law as the bill was signed.
