    AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — More than 9,000 Maine residents have been removed from the state's food stamp program since Republican Gov. Paul LePage's administration began enforcing work and volunteer requirements late last year, officials said.

    The number of people that have been dropped from the program has exceeded even the administration's expectations.

    About 12,000 adults who aren't disabled and don't have children were in the program before Jan. 1. That number has dropped to 2,680 this month, David Sorensen, spokesman for the Department of Health and Services, told The Associated Press.

    In all serious thought, I support the practice of spending taxpayers money in guiding and making the freeloaders do labor or loose there benefits, in the long run there should be a plus to the system. Stay at home , watch the tube, do 0 = get 0

    If they implemented that here in California the state would practically be empty.

    In the great N/Y there is way to much fat to be cut from the infostructure or in smaller words, ( get rid of the political back scratching bs) and make people work for what they get.
