Now This Is a Good Idea
Everyone who knows me knows I have no use for township government, however today the Marion County Township Trustees get a major thumbs up from me.
I hear there’s a plan being circulated amongst the Trustees that would put people who repeatedly get poor relief to do mandatory work for either the township or the County government.
I’m all for it. There is no reason why someone who is able-bodied who is on the public dole shouldn’t do a little work to earn their keep. They can sweep streets, pick up trash, plant flowers in urban greenways, the list just goes on and one.
I personally would like to expand it so they would also work for individuals who had jobs that needed done, but this is a nice start.
