We were happy to havg a dele­

and it was my pleasure to show
them around the state capital.
According to a special report is­
sued last week by the Governor's
Office, 18 percent of the people
receiving Aid to Dependent Chil­
dren funds are either receiving
over $25 per month too much, or
sfiould not be receiving welfare at
all.
This report is the result of a
study conducted by the private ac­
counting firm of Touche Ross,
and verifies the findings of our
Special Welfare Task Force. The
report further states that there
are overpayments of over $330,-
000 a month in the ADC program,
and that 60 percent of this could FO R EST G RO VE

on Welfare, I am impressed by

This was a controversial measure,
however the final vote showed a

of government interference with
