The Welfare Department
estimates that if they grant a
one-time grant to a “tran

will save $96 million in the
first year.
“To place that figure into
proper perspective,”
Wismer continued, “it
equals almost seven times
the amount appropriated to
the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture this
year.
“We applaud the effort of
House Bill 2044 in its attempt
to pare down the welfare
rolls to those who truly need

“Like many on both a state

“That figure represents
well over a quarter of a
million people.” Wismer
stated. “Was this the
original intent of the
legislation?” he asked. “To
subsidize the lives of almost
one-quarter of the population
of that city.
The legislation also
provides that no CETA
positions could be filled in a
geographic until all the
transitionally-needy persons
in the CETA prime sponsor’s
area are neither employed
or enrolled in a training
program.
Wismer commended this
provision by saying that “it
is a giant step in providing
waiting employment for
those classified as tran
sitionally needy persons.”
He further commented
that it “would go a long way
towards solving the
dis/incentive to return to
work after receiving
welfare.”
