Welfare chief urges reform of California food stamps
California welfare director David Swoop criticized the food stamp program for an appalling lack of accountability and administrative controls. He urged reforms that could save about 200 million annually, citing misuses such as a 2.5 million stamp shipment left with a night watchman and a Riverside family of seven earning 11,000 dollars while receiving stamps. He called for tightened student eligibility and better county oversight, noting potential student and communal living abuses across counties including Butte and Chico State College.
