Editor's Note: The Letter to the Editor “Put Me in Charge of Welfare” is nearly identical to a letter to the editor posted Nov. 18, 2010 on WacoTrib.com and signed by Alfred W. Evans, Gatesville. Other versions of this letter have appeared in numerous locations online.

In response to the Letter to the Editor “Put Me in Charge of Welfare” which appeared in North Country This Week’s April 2-8 issue: I receive SNAP and Medicaid benefits and you know what? I have a full time manager position that I've held for five years. I make $11.50 an hour. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. So you still want to take benefits from me and my family? It's not everybody that they should be taken from.
