County leaders back food stamp system in Harris County
Harris County commissioners weigh a federal food stamp plan that would cost about 3,003 in the first year and shift aid to coupons for groceries. Ramsey supports it citing aid to the poor and local merchants. Sayers fears cost and eligibility expansion. Judge Elliott and others favor psychological and economic benefits for welfare recipients and the local economy. Ten Texas counties already participate.
