There is more on this. KFGO reported on some of the comments made by committee members at a recent appropriations meeting:
....The committee also engaged in a long discussion of whether more money is needed for the WIC program to assure that all women and infants who qualify for the program get served, and what percentage of the program's budget is used for administrative expenses.
Kingston said the bill had provisions to make sure everyone gets served, but also said he is concerned that people are eligible for too many nutrition programs, and that the programs should be combined.
DeLauro presented a letter from Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack saying that hundreds of thousands of women and infants could be denied coverage, but the committee did not change the funding allocation.....
Mr. Kingston's statement that "....he is concerned that people are eligible for too many nutrition programs...." is shameful. It just might be that people aren't getting the amount of food that they need.
****** Daily Kos has an interesting take on redistricting in the state of Ohio, including a suggested map. Here is just one some tidbit from DailyKos:
....15th District
Incumbent in Residence
none
Changes
Devoid of incumbents, the new 15th is definitely a swing district with a slight Democratic lean. Under these new lines, the district shrinks and becomes more compact, taking in the three-fourths of Franklin County that is excluded from the new 12th, as well as western and southern Columbus. It also takes in just parts of Union and Madison Counties, versus the entire counties under the current lines. Can Mary Jo Kilroy mount a comeback bid under these new lines? Or perhaps ex-AG and Treasurer Richard Cordray of Grove City?
Statistics
VAP: White (74.4%); Black (16.1%); Hispanic (3.8%); Asian (3.8%); Other (1.8%)
2008 Pres: Obama (54.2%) - McCain (44.3%)
Avg Votes: DEM (53.6%) - GOP (46.4%)
Probable Status

Is it possible that we could retire Steve Stivers? He clearly is not voting our values.
