The Associated Press reported the story below:
OLYMPIA, Wash. The state of Washington sent out $1 checks to the 250,000 food stamp recipients in the state.
The director of the Community Services Division for the Department of Social and Health Services, Leo Ribas, says the checks mailed Feb. 17 trigger an additional $43 million in federal food benefits. They also connect recipients to an energy assistance program.
I find myself wondering how the Food Stamp recieients will spend their dollar.

this is a ridiculous waste of $250k
Back when I worked a desk job, I had a cork board. I it I had a spot where I would post a copy of whatever the latest moronic email/newspaper clipping/etc I had received...sometimes it something a coworker did that was stupid. Kind of a "moron of the moment" kind of thing. If I had received one of those checks, I would've put it on there.
Don't get me started on the State of Wash. I dealt with them on some truly moronic stuff for my g'pa when my g'ma passed away.
wow...i bet there was a note attached telling them not to spend it all in one place!
