Straw To Cut Welfare Costs In Oregon Work Program
The Miami Herald notes Oregon's Public Welfare Commission pilot that replaces some relief with work for able-bodied men. Started January in eight counties, the plan aims to save money by hiring 50 workers to clear roadsides, paying $6,000 in costs for $16,000 of work. More than 200 recipients placed. 20 to 25 percent no-shows prompted welfare cuts. The program benefits workers with jobs and taxpayers by reducing relief rolls.
