When Will Larry Kissell Stop Wasting Tax-Payer Dollars?

Good Afternoon,

Today, Larry Kissell will have the opportunity to prevent liquor stores, casinos and adult-entertainment venues from dispensing welfare benefits. As Politico reported today, in California, “$3.9 million [welfare funds] were accessed at casinos over a three-year and five-month period, and beneficiaries tapped into a total of $20,000 at adult entertainment establishments.” In addition, the Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act prevents a tax increase on middle-class families, extends unemployment insurance and includes several bipartisan measures that will create up to 130,000 American jobs.

Sounds like a no-brainer, but Larry Kissell has been known to back President Obama’s reckless fiscal policies at the expense of North Carolina middle-class families before.

NRCC COMMENT: “There’s no reason why welfare recipients should be gambling away our taxpayer dollars at strip clubs or casinos instead feeding their families and finding a good job. Larry Kissell should end this abuse of taxpayer funds and vote for the bipartisan bill that supports American job creation and blocks harmful tax increases.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
