Mind you, the max TANF grant for a family of 3 is something like $343 monthly. Honestly, I don't see how they're even going to be able to achieve their projected $46,000 savings (at a cost of $1.5 million) with this program.

Plus I have to wonder whose drug lab is going to benefit from this bill ala Rick Scott's Solantic.
