Texas welfare reform panel calls system shockingly bad
A Senate interim welfare study group labeled Texas welfare administration shockingly bad and said the food distribution program exploits the poor. It urged reorganizing welfare, replacing commodity distribution with food stamps, and giving the governor cabinet power via a secretary of human resources. It also backed computerization and stricter eligibility appeals, with emphasis on federal matching funds and local tax considerations.
