Talk about a place where they need it!

My own efforts here have been in trying to educate people on how bogus the County's Social Service and "welfare" system is, while so many politicians just grandstand on the idea of "welfare queens" getting "free money". I hope it wasn't one of those lies that ultimately led to this man's death.
