Showing Original Post only (View all)WTF? Alan Grayson's estranged wife is getting food stamps [View all]
It appears to me that either someone is manipulating her or she's just dishonest and vindictive. I'm one of the few here that doesn't think much of Grayson, but this looks like bullshit to me.
Alan Grayson is one of richest congressman in the country, but just one week before Election Day, 9 Investigates has learned his estranged wife is now using tax dollars to support her children.
In front of his home, Channel 9's Karla Ray saw a septic leak. Inside the home, she saw mold in nearly every room.
"I don't have any money at all," said Grayson's wife, Lolita Grayson. "He's been holding all our money for years and years."
Grayson's wife said she applied for and received an EBT card from the state.

But Alan Grayons' attorney, Mark Nejame, said it's no surprise the information is coming out now, one week before Election Day, arguing Lolita Grayson's assistance application is incomplete.
On the paperwork, she only claims $592 per child for her monthly income, but Nejame says Grayson is also paying the mortgage, utilities and phone bill for the home, a total of about $10,000 a month.
"This is abusing the public," Nejame said. "She's going out and asking for support because she can't support herself on $120,000? That's outrageous."

Grayson doesn't pay spousal support because he claims they weren't legally married. He says that she was still married to her first husband and is a bigamist. What a mess.
