Huh,

See, Pitt disagrees:

CGR Community and Governmental Relations


The state disagrees:

Office of the Budget Home

And this one shows that 48% of the DPW budget was cut after passing through state house/senate committee.

Guess they realized that "welfare to work" doesn't work when the advisors are telling the workers to stay on welfare.

Come again sometime. Been fun.

That's exactly how I feel. Except I can't help but scratch that itch.

I would guess for the same reason that contributors respond to yours.

Just over a year ago when local governments were continuing to severely cut back funding to non profit organizations (such as the one for whom you worked at the time and which shortly thereafter laid you off) you not only categorically denied that this was happening but didn't even know the name of your state governor and cited the name of his predecessor.

Oh, and by the way, Tom Corbett has been the Governor of PA only since 2011 which was way after the funding cutbacks were started so hardly deserves your calling him "Tom Slasher".

Wouldn't make me feel particularly safe, particularly since I doubt that researching jobs for those over 50 years of age is high on any state's funding priority list.

That has nothing to do with me since I don't work in human services.


By the way I just received a new printer today and my vacation for Sept and Oct has been approved. Feeling good right now

A city government agency which helps older people find employment always, to my knowledge, falls under the Department of Human Services umbrella.
