Ford plan tightens food stamp program nationwide
President Ford’s new regulations reduce overall recipients by more than five million and trim benefits for others while expanding aid for about five million of the poorest families and adding 600,000 participants. The plan, to take effect in three steps starting June 1, tightens eligibility to net incomes under 2800 a year for one person and 5500 for a four person family, with total federal costs cited at 5.5 billion annually before reforms.

Green County union charges lead to scheduled hearing
A hearing between the Green County Labor Relations Committee and the local striking union will be scheduled by the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission after unfair labor practice charges were served on county officials. The papers, served by Green County Sheriff Matt Solliran, accuse the county of prohibitive practices and refusal to bargain, seeking relief under state statute 111.70. The union aims to use the fact finder’s recommendation as a basis for settlement while highlighting attempts to discourage labor organization. AFL-CIO Local 1162 AFSCME had accepted the fact finder’s report, which the labor board rejected.
