Welfare plan shifts control to counties in Michigan
Lansing notes show County supervisors seek near total state exit from welfare. Plan reallocates $15 million of sales tax revenue to county relief, expands county duties to dependent children and crippled program costs, and raises old age pension funding to $12.3 million with federal matching. Debate pits urban needs against rural emphasis, amid liquor purchase rows and Dickinson state policy tensions.
