Mayor in Maine wants to publicize names and addresses of welfare recipients.

Best way to cut down on welfare is to stop handing out bigger checks the more kids you have.

This mayor wants to publicize who’s on welfare and where they live

sep 24 2015 If you receive government assistance in the state of Maine, Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald thinks the public has a right to know about it.

In a Thursday column for the Twin City Times, Macdonald said a bill will be submitted during Maine’s next legislative session“asking that a Web site be created containing the names, addresses, length of time on assistance and the benefits being collected by every individual on the dole.”

He added: “After all, the public has a right to know how its money is being spent.”

Macdonald, a local Republican mayor who is up for reelection in November, can’t submit a state bill himself, so he would need a state lawmaker to back the plan in the legislature.

In his column Thursday, he wrote that Maine has a Web site listing the pension amounts individuals receive — something “taxpayers have a right to know,” he said — and wondered why welfare recipients’ information isn’t also publicly posted.

Well....

The names and salaries of government employees are posted. And everyone's address is available through public tax records. Also....welfare checks are technically government documents subject to FOIA.

So....they're getting paid by the government and not even doing any work.

Publish them

Poor people shouldn't have kids. Then you can live very well on a minimum wage job. THINK

Best way tog et people off welfare is have a country people are proud to be citizens of instead of embarassed where mooching off it isn't objectionable.

So long as we waste so much on new and inventive ways of murdering people, and a host of other things which make me at least embarassed to be an American citizen, if people wanna leech their existence off a country that maintains a nuclear arsenal capable of wiping out millenia of human achievement that's fine with me.

Fuck this country.

High points for unpredictability, nobody ever knows what side of an issue you fall on.

Others might call it instability, but I'm trying to be generous.

People wouldn't be poor if companies paid them better wages. THINK! Oh and no my brother worked a min wage job right after high school and couldn't make ends meet so that's bullshit as well. Republicans are wrong on another subject imagine that.
