Welfare Mother Pitches Tent in State Parking Lot
Dana Allen, protesting a plan to cut state caseworkers by half, pitched a tent in the Vancouver state office building parking lot and urged others to join. She complains food stamps access in Clark County is difficult while the Department of Social and Health Services defends the budget move to reallocate funds to food stamp processing and raises for remaining workers. The protest drew occasional support from staff, with occasional donations, and a stove was stolen the first day.
