2018 MI Governor's race: on Welfare & Poverty


Bill Schuette: Welfare must balance hand up aid with helping able find work

"Michigan has a responsibility to reevaluate and ensure that taxpayer-funded programs are not only efficient but that they are ensuring the best outcomes," said Schuette. "Welfare programs must always be judged on their ability to give a hand up to citizens in need of help and by their ability to identify and eliminate hurdles to helping able-bodied citizens find a place in our workforce."

Abdul El-Sayed: Economic well-being means helping those less privileged

El-Sayed said Ann Arbor will be important to this campaign, considering its history of producing "people-first policy." El-Sayed said students need to recognize their privilege if any empathetic work is to be done. "The economy is largely subsidized by people who often don't have access to our institutions," El-Sayed said. "We need to translate economic well-being into helping the lives of people who aren't as privileged."
