This is just the tip of the abuse iceberg. Your redistributed tax dollars at work. Boston MA - A convicted drug dealer â who cops said wanted to use cash from his taxpayer-funded EBT card to post bail â is the new face of welfare abuse, according to tough-minded lawmakers who are pushing the reform-resistant Patrick (an Obama buddy) administration for a crackdown. Kimball Clark, 45, was locked up Friday on drug-dealing charges â again â when he was overheard using his one phone call to ask the person on the other end of the line to âget my EBT card and go to the ATM and get the money to bail me out, get me outa here tonight,â according to a Boston police report. âItâs another outrage,â said state Rep. Shaunna OâConnell (R-Taunton), a member of the EBT Task Force who criticized the group for failing to push tough restrictions on the use of the controversial cards. âWhen we were on the EBT Card Commission, I fought to get bail bondsmen on that list of places where people could not use their EBT cards. They fought me on it and told me people canât use their EBT cards in that way.â http://www.bostonherald.com/news/re..._welfare_abuse_runs_deep/srvc=home&position=1
EBT is chump change. Check this out, "The tribe's Foxwoods casino, the largest in the Western Hemisphere, allowed members to live without concern for money, generating shared revenue stipends that once exceeded $100,000 annually for each adult." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46883766/ns/us_news-life/
