12. It IS terrible public policy...

It's bad enough the people in PA who are eligible for SNAP program don't follow through with the long process (pages and pages) to qualify. NOW, there's more reason to believe they won't.

We have one of the lowest fraud rates (1/10th of 1%, I read) in this state. Just in Allegheny County, we underserve thousands who should be reached. Can you imagine what this can do to areas outside the MSA?

Tom Corbet and company should be ridden out of the Commonwealth on a rail and dumped into a rural setting without a job and no resources to see what it means to survive in during the next year.

Bastards.
