He is introducing a bill to create a website to post names of welfare recipients and how long they’ve been on public assistance.
The Mayor of Lewiston, Maine, has figured out the answer to society’s ills, and it comes in the form of public shaming.
Upset by the fact that Maine’s government maintains a website that lists the amount of money received by pensioners in the state, and angered by the existence of welfare recipients, or the “victimized, protected class,” Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald devised a plan.
The Tea Party-backed conservative, who is currently seeking re-election to a third term in his town of 36,000, announced a bill to create a website would list the names and addresses of welfare recipients publicly online.
