I don’t know if this will fly. Many years ago the main newspaper in Indianapolis would publish the names of everybody obtaining government assistance every quarter. They got hauled into court [I think by the ACLU]. They had to stop this practice because the court said they were violating the privacy of the recipients.

This is unconstitutional invasion of the privacy of a citizen who has qualified for and met the standards for supplemental income defined by our county, state and federal laws. No one should meddle in another citizen's personal affairs.

If a recipient has violated the standards, then the behavior is subject to exposure when irregularities fully verified and subject to agency action. That is not a private issue, it is then become a public one.
