Senator shaping welfare work requirement plan
Senator Russell Long said he is shaping a welfare work requirement substitute for Nixon's plan. The Louisiana Democrat, Finance Committee chair, outlined six ways to raise income for those who work, including job opportunities, tax advantages, hiring incentives, and training programs.
