What will Michigan's 4-year-limit on cash welfare limits mean for those who receive them and will be dropped?
Did the committees in the Michigan Legislature just take testimony from the professional advocates for the poor who make handsome salaries or did they actually hear from those affected?
Did any of the news media write stories or do profiles of those affected?
