Food stamp payment gets approval at courthouse hearing
Payment of 4128 to the Welfare food stamp program was approved over objections by Commissioner Frank A. Vitril who called for an investigation into misuse. Vitril abstained as Houk and Drugokewski rejected the rumors noting the program is cheaper than surplus food distribution. The county is bound by a Welfare Department contract.
