Barry Advocates Cutting Welfare to Long-Term Recipients
(Afro) — Ward 8 City Councilman Marion Barry has never shied away from the national spotlight and his latest initiative may soon gain him another distinction. The gruff councilman, who appears to have been reinventing himself over the past few years, said during a recent interview, that he wants to become a national advocate for welfare reform because the way the system works now only serves as a means to keeping poor people poor. “The present system has been a miserable failure, keeping families in poverty and joblessness,” Barry said.
