State officials were working with Google experts Tuesday to try to
remove from the Internet the Social Security numbers of about 100
former employees of now-defunct L.G. Defelice Inc.

The legislature's Transportation Committee inadvertently posted the
private identity information on a General Assembly Web site last week.

Sen. Donald DeFronzo, D-New Britain, the committee's co-chairman, said
the Social Security numbers were posted as part of documents the panel
received from the Department of Transportation. He said DOT officials
were supposed to have blacked out all private information.

The committee asked for Defelice's payroll information in preparation
for a series of legislative hearings on the controversial Interstate
84 project in Cheshire and Waterbury. Defelice is accused of
committing widespread and costly construction errors, including more
than 200 flawed storm drains.
