Ohioans’ food stamp aid to be reduced

Toledo Blade ^

Ohio families receiving food stamps could get an unwelcome surprise come January: $50 less every month in assistance.

For the 869,000 households enrolled in the program for the poorest Ohioans, that could amount to about $520 million annually out of the grocery budgets.

They’ll just have to sell that much more weed and crack (both kinds) I guess.

“This is a federal issue,” said Joel Potts, executive director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Directors’ Association. “It is what it is. They have a formula. ... We just think it is going to be really hard on families and individuals. They will see significantly less money starting in January.”

This should have been paragraph number 1, not buried deep in the article.

Boo Hoo. Cry me a river. I think I’ll be saying that a lot these days.

[subterfuge]

They sell their Food Stamps, too, along with their government funded medicine.

[Irenic]

Maybe some of the PACS need to put money into advertisements telling that it is a Fed issue, not state.

From Nonprofits Face Challenging End-of-Year Giving Season

With the government’s budget crisis and the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, significant tax changes could be on the horizon for 2013—and that makes a number of potential donors nervous. President Obama has mentioned potentially reducing or eliminating the tax deduction for charitable giving, a change which Delaney says could have a devastating impact on nonprofits. “There’s talk of limiting charitable giving in terms of the deductions, and in this time when needs are so great, Congress should not be tinkering with this very important tool,” he says.
