BELLEFONTAINE -- Mayor Adam Brannon of Bellefontaine posted on Facebook that his family is receiving food on the W.I.C. program.
He was responding to Republican Presidential Candidate Mitch Romney's comment about the 47% of Americans.
He tells ABC 6/FOX 28 his salary is under $27,000 and he qualifies for the poverty level help.
W.I.C provides milk, cheese, fruits and cereals and is not food stamps.
His job as Mayor is part-time, but he feels the people expect him to work full time, so he has given up other jobs.
He was just re-elected, so he can't get a raise during his term.
Brannon says his wife applied for the W.I.C. program seven months ago.
She is pregnant and expecting their second son any time now.
A political blogger at Third Base Politics made an issue of it.
He says the Mayor's decision to use the program is just another example of how democrats encourage government dependence, and that the Mayor chose his situation.
Mayor Brannon says if he had it to do again he would not put it on out for people to see on Facebook.

I like your wording, you are so right. It is so encourageing to see the black Judges, on their shows, tell these people like it is, they are fed up with supporting them as much as we are.
Want to see the REAL WORLD of welfare kings/queens? watch Hardcore Pawn out of Detroit. What an eyeopener of just what the obama class are truly like, yo this, yo that.
Often wonder too, how this obama class "GET" all that EXPENSIVE jewelry. Ok, I don't wonder that, OK?, OK. lol
I saw that, too. LOL
These idiots, oops, I mean “smart” people really know what they are talking about! Can’t even figure out the names of the candidates running for office.
Mitt’s evil twin......”Mitch”.
Mayor of any small town IS a part time job, however its also a job with no formal hours and you can be in demand 24/7
Public Service is a calling not a career... at least it should and used to be.
After reading more about his situation and what he’s done.. he’s a lazy leech with a job he’s trying to make full-time and collect everything he can get for as little work as he can do...a typical Democrat....no service, except from the lip.
Life is all about choices.. some are easy, some.. welllll..
