Maybe she didn’t hear what the black dude from the County said: the vouchers are ONLY applicable in the next 3-4 years. Not 3 days, not 3 months from now...that’s 3-4 years from now. So much for hopeychangey.

This seems like a scam to me a way to get people on a list of some kind. If the vouchers are not good until 3 or 4 years from today then why would all those people have to fill out the paperwork now alot of things change in 3 to 4
years. Also I find it strange that the people had to line up at 6 am this should be something that a person should just be able to go into the Social Services building and get on the list. Just seems weird to me. Sounds like some kind of voter fraud registration like ACORN.

How would you know that you’ll be needing financial assistance 3 or 4 years from now unless you’re disabled or a psychic?
