Full case sanctions
Someone told me tonight that John and Ken were talking about full-case sanctions or kicking time-out individuals off of welfare. I guess they claimed what we are doing in this county (and much of the state) to be illegal. Well, duh!!! Geez, what have we been trying to tell everyone?
If California wants to balance its budget, the first place it should look is the welfare system. If the state of California would do two things, give us full-case sanctions as are allowed across the country and start kicking timed-out individuals off of cash aid, we’d have a whole lot of money that could be used to address budget issues elsewhere.
But as I’ve said many times, our county will never, ever do anything that might reduce caseloads because fewer caseloads equal a smaller empire for incompetent managers to manage. Why we don’t have our county’s legislative advocate working with the advocates from the other 57 counties to get the governor to go along with full-case sanctions is beyond me, except once again we are a corrupt county with corrupt administrators running our inefficient department.
For all you TAD people, how about sending anonymous emails to John and Ken with some of your horror stories about all the people committing welfare fraud and where our administrators will not allow us to do anything to them? Or explain, as I might do in an entry tomorrow, why full-case sanction is so important and what it would do for the economy. Full-case sanction is a win-win for everyone but county administrators who don’t want to see caseloads dwindle. Gee, then maybe we wouldn’t need 392 uneducated and unqualified deputy directors running this department into the ground.
