Stagehands union refutes state's fair collapse findings

13 WTHR Indianapolis: The results of the investigation into the deadly stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair is set to be released today, but 13 Investigates has uncovered who state investigators say is to blame for the deadly State Fair roof collapse. "I just think it's reprehensible," said Bill Groth, attorney for IATSE Local 30. "The state ought to look in the mirror, because that's where the culpability begins." Just hours before Indiana's Occupational Health and Safety Administration releases its findings into the August 13 collapse, IATSE Local 30, the local stagehands union under investigation says it is being blamed and used as a scapegoat. "Local 30 is not an employer. They're a labor organization, a union," said Groth.
