Should have all property and assets confiscated and be mandated to repay with interest all money he embezzled. Also be incarcerated until all money has been repaid.
The ENTIRE WELFARE and SOCIAL SERVICES agency is corrupt. Both STATE and FEDERAL levels. They have to be corrupt. They don't know how to do the job. The blacks can't follow simple direction with cops.
Chicken feed.I make that much in a week.
8:51 PM - So why do you keep on accepting welfare benefits?
Lots of millionaires on the government dole and have no scruples about it,food stamps,grants,cheap healthcare handouts and their the same ones donating to democrats and this all has to do with reported income so when they live thru their non profits this is possible.
8:51 is one of the CORRUPT WELFARE officer. Can't do his job but sure knows how to steal.
