Publisher's Notes
Of the problems with welfare systems is no a lack of funds, but rather failure to connect the founds to families and communities in a way that makes a difference in people's lives. Through involvement with welfare recipients, community leaders, caseworkers and others, author Gary MacDougal and Illinois Governor Jim Edgar led the Illinois state government in its biggest reorganization since 1900, creating a model for the rest of the nation.
