First, the Governor, to his credit, has come out unequivocally in support of this sensible program (and yes, it is sensible -- more on that in a second). "It's a program that saves money and enables people who are on welfare to get to … [Read more...]
Alternate Globe headline: “Why isn’t the Governor doing more ribbon cuttings?”
