The State wants the money back. Dollars to donuts he pays it all in “fines”.
He figured if the state could ‘steal’ 350 thou that he could double his winnings by cornering the local coke market.
Didn’t they used to make Welfare Recipients sort of settle up old bills and taxes etc BEFORE the check was issued.
I am sure a couple of ambulance chasers got involved and figured it was ‘unconstitutional’ to force people to pay their old debts....
Is it Harry Reid, I’ve heard he’s a Koch head??
He’s a guy that doesn’t understand that once you have “legal” money, you become a target of the government.
