Somebody commented on an earlier thread that the way to solve this problem was for the people of Lewiston to hold a special election and immediatly suspend all welfare,food stamps,government housing subsidies ect, for 18 months.Or they could have a residency requirment,live here for 5 years before you are eligible to recieve money.
The problem people would leave, the reputation of the city as a haven would change overnight,the people could privately support locals who were on the dole for good reason and the problem would become manageable.
