Senate Finance Committee backs work bonus plan for low earners
Senate Finance Committee approved a bill to pay a work bonus to families with incomes under 5600 a year. The plan, championed by Sen. Russell Long, offers 10 percent of earnings up to 4000, phased out at 5600, costing about 600 million yearly. It would replace welfare with incentives for work and shift child support collection to the state with mother cooperation required or welfare loss.
