You've seen the ads, perhaps, touting Target 12's biggest investigation yet. Here's the scoop on the story, to run at 11 o'clock tonight: it's a look at state workers, tasked with investigating unemployment fraud and phony disability claims, running personal errands on state time.

Oh, the irony.

Investigative reporter Tim White tells N4N that he's been contacted by state police, who have opened an investigation based on the station's work. A nice coup for the station, which has maintained its commitment to investigative reports even as its rivals, ABC6 and WJAR, have curt back in tough times.
