Your Point of View
A state senator is calling for a crackdown on what he calls abuse of Michigan's food assistance program. He says about $2-million in Bridge Card benefits were spent in traditional vacation hotspots in January and February. The locations include Hawaii, Florida and even cruise ships. He is also trying to stop people on welfare from getting cash from ATM's at casinos. Do you think tighter restrictions should be put into place?
