Gov., Wife To Live On Food Stamp Budget

SALEM, Ore. -- Starting on Monday, Gov. Ted Kulongoski and his wife, Mary, will spend just $3 a day each for a week on their meals to match the amount spent by the average food stamp recipient in Oregon.

The goal is to walk the proverbial mile in the steps of those who rely on food stamps to feed a family.

The Bush administration has proposed several cuts, among them taking away food stamps from about 185,000 people because they receive other non-cash government assistance.


Kulongoski, a Democrat, plans to lobby Congress to restore the proposed funding cuts.
