Albany reports the number of welfare recipients fell by 154,817 in the past year from 1,785,024 to 1,630,207, an 8.6 percent drop and the first decline since 1960. Commissioner Abe Levine credits reform measures including detailed applications, interviews, audits, and efforts to locate fathers, with contributing factors like smaller families and access to birth control aids. A separate note says a jail fire in Rensselaer County killed an inmate, prompting fire retardant mattress tests across state facilities after findings that the foam mattress is highly flammable and hard to extinguish once ignited.
