Maureen Groppe, writing for Gannett News Service has an article entitled Bill targets Indiana welfare overhaul. Apparently there is a provision stuck into the emergency spending bill, primarily concerning funding the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan, that would require closer federal monitoring of Indiana’s welfare privatization.
The bill says the federal government approved the state’s contract with The IBM Group “without a clear understanding of the details of the program, including its implementation, effect on state employees, daily operation of the program or even whether the program complied with federal law.”
