Philbrook calls welfare sanction postponement balderdash
Vermont Welfare Commissioner Paul Philbrook condemns federal delay in implementing welfare efficiency sanctions as rhetoric and doubt that the standards can stick. He notes states seek money in tough times, while Vermont reports 15.5 percent overpayment error, 4.5 percent underpayment, and 6 percent ineligible rates for the Aid to Needy Families with Children program.

Fitzpatrick, a truck dealer, had the Burlington Democratic Committee’s backing, with the governor following local recommendations. The governor also must name a successor to Rep. Macdean Bartlett, with the Richford Democratic Committee set to nominate after Bartlett’s death.
