    • At a food bank, the clients may actually get to meet face to face with their actual benefactors…a little more personal than using that sterile plastic EBT card.

  2. The sad thing is that there are 63,000 people in VT receiving those benefits. That is roughly 10% of our population that can’t or won’t feed themselves

    • And 50,000 of them being either children, elderly or disabled, and you want them to sing for their supper.

    • Alan, since turned off it was discovered there were 700,000 nationally unlawfully and fraudulently receiving benefits

  3. Three dollars per pound for tomatoes. Eight dollars per pound for cube steak. One dollar and a half for a cucumber. Four or five dollars a pound for hamburger. One hundred dollar bill will not fill a ten pound paper bag.

  4. “Accountability court.”

    How about simply applying the laws as they already stand, and prosecutors and judges doing what they’ve been elect3d and appointed to do: enforce the law.

    Wouldn’t that save taxpayers a whole lot of money instead of being redundant and trying to reinvent the wheel?
