I suppose a silver lining in this plan is that Maine will learn that its welfare recipients are whites who live next door.
The mayor of Lewiston, Maine, has called on the the state legislature to create a public online registry with the names and addresses of those on welfare in the state, as well as how long those individuals have been receiving benefits.
In a Thursday column in the Twin City Times, Mayor Robert Macdonald wrote that “the public has a right to know how its money is being spent.” He said that he would submit a bill to the legislature that would create the registry.
