Idaho welfare mothers plan protest over AFDC cut
About 30 welfare recipients legal aid staff and SRS workers met at the El Ada Community Action Center to discuss alternatives to a proposed AFDC cut. They plan to sit in at Gov. Cecil Andrus’s office Monday to press for funding and consider protests and petitions. The cut, averaging 25 to 30 dollars monthly, follows an announced policy by SRS Commissioner Dr. John Marks to project expenditures through June 30 and use insufficient funds as rationale.
