“I see no reason, other than political grandstanding, to deviate from that basic conclusion,” Patrick wrote.

But Jones said that could create a gray area — for example, big box stores that aren’t banned but sell items intended to be banned. He noted Patrick had banned individual items when he signed an earlier law specifically targeting booze, smokes and lottery tickets.

The proposed ban on EBT use in jewelry stores, nail salons and rental centers was vetoed, however, leaving no EBT ban on their products.

State Rep. Shaunna O’Connell (R-Taunton) said, “These benefits are for the necessities of life. Not for jewelry, not for manicures, not to get a makeover.”

Taxpayers are supposed to just shut up?

He didn't, you are just ignorant.

Yes, after 30 years of Reaganism and Voodoo, WE have the worst rich-poor gap, upward mobility, min. wage, health care, happiness quotient etc EVER, and in the modern world.

Pubs and dupes, worst party and stupidest voters EVER, AND in the modern world.

And you can't buy anything but FOOD with food stamps. There is also EBT CASH, ALL of which the able bodied have to work at min wage to get.

If you want to go after the tiny amount of fraud, hater/dupes, stop Pubs from cutting investigators.
