Statement:
Governor needs to rethink unraveling of public structures
“We’re glad the governor called for a safety net for those most in need. What that suggests is the need to go back and look at the policies that actually harmed those most in need.
He spoke about helping kids in foster care, which is noble, but we need to lift up thousands of kids who are victims of poverty in our state. Cutting their parents’ cash assistance, their clothing allowance, the very food that’s put on their tables is not the way to assure a safety net.”
– Gilda Z. Jacobs, president & CEO of the Michigan League for Human Services
