Follow Up To December 3's "Sad Story" Posting

As noted in a December 3 posting, the workers' compensation insurer for the Dollar Tree discount chain had taken the position that the murder of 26-year-old Taneka Talley (an African American) by a killer allegedly motivated by Talley's race was not work related. Facing public anger over the insurer's stance, Dollar Tree has now announced that it has made an offer to pay the full benefit amount permitted by California law.
