Parsimonious Attitude Charges Welfare Officials
Welfare workers accuse the Taylor county administrator of a cost cutting stance that leaves applicants for relief unpaid and delays funds for projects like the Pruntytown reform school field and the Tri County airport. Officials deny favoritism, citing unspent balances and state limits, and say August relief funds will be spread to maximize aid while staff argue the office remains steady rather than rotating.
