Welfare fraud crackdown faces 90 day recertification push
An in-depth look at fraud and overpayments in the welfare system reports 47 percent of New England clients overpaid by about 51 dollars monthly, with New York City showing the heaviest ineligibility.

The growth replaces vegetation with buildings and roads, making the capital hotter and frost-free for longer each year.
