A bumper sticker name for a bill which will place sweeping powers in the hands of Governors to reform welfare. What are some of powers that Governors will be given? The bill before us will allow Governors to deny legal immigrants and State funded assistance based on economic needs. The bill also allows Governors to move 20 percent of funds from the three block grants for child care. family and school nutrition programs. Congress should provide a great deal of latitude to State governments to be innovative and imaginative. but Congress must also ensure Federal assistance is used by the people who most need that help.
