Congressman Roy Blunt thinks the federal welfare-to-work law is working well, getting people off the welfare rolls and into paying jobs. But some people who’ve made the move say the program isn’t working as well as itcould. Blunt has met with some of them in Springfield and has heard them say the program has not solved their problems with getting health insurance, with finding affordable child care so they can work, and for helpingthem with reliable transportation so they can get to work. Blunt says the program needs to be improved, “around the edges,” as he puts it.
