State Welfare Bill Nearing Final Vote
The Kansas Senate advanced to a final roll call on a bill to cap general assistance payments for welfare. The measure would limit aid to 96 days a year and scale payments toward below the national average, saving about 6.9 million dollars, while keeping existing levels for ADC, the blind, the aged, and the disabled. Critics argued it harms the poor and may push people onto ADC.
