I know of a nearby "...Hello Gov. Elect Baker.<br /><br />I know of a nearby "family unit" living in section 8 rental apartment.<br /><br />One adult female, one adult male, not married. Two school age children.<br />Both own their own cars.<br />He works full time; she works part-time as a house cleaner.<br /><br />Happened to be behind the female checking out at the Stop & Shop.<br /><br />She paid using food stamps and BIC vouchers. (check out line was backed up because she was buying some things not eligible under the program and the cashier had to separate those items out)<br /><br />She and the male are also smokers.<br />Aside from the health issue, cigarettes are expensive.<br />We, the taxpayers, are paying for what's going on here with these people and others doing the same thing.<br /><br />Not too wild a guess to say, or think, their kids probably get free food from the program described above.<br /><br />Not saying some kids are not deserving for receiving the free food help.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495259053695893001.post-36023895636250916402014-12-02T17:46:17.911-05:002014-12-02T17:46:17.911-05:00One reason why I crossed party lines and voted for...One reason why I crossed party lines and voted for Charlie Baker.<br /><br />One of his campaign "promises" was to work on welfare fraud if elected.<br /><br />No question, it is rampant.
