Michiganders will no longer need to attest they have less than $15,000 in assets like cash, checking and savings accounts in order to qualify for food assistance benefits, although income and expenses will still be used to determine eligibility.

Republican House Leader Matt Hall quoted in the article: "offering food stamps to the rich does nothing to put food on the tables of Michiganders in need.”

But distribute $1.5 billion to the rich through the Strategic Outreach and Attraction Reserve fund and Matt will reassure you that it helps create jobs.
