Low income group assails Snelling over welfare stance in Vermont
Vermont Low Income Advocacy Council criticized Gov. Richard Snelling for harming the poor. A unanimous resolution instructed lawyers to respond to administration statements on emergency fuel aid and condemned attitudes toward unemployed fathers. Council leaders accused the administration of trying to terminate the Aid to Needy Families With Children Unemployed Fathers program before jobs are available, saying only legislative restraint saved it. The council instructed VSIAC to warn Human Services Secretary Elizabeth Candon about ending emergency fuel benefits. The coalition represents low income people statewide.
