Georgia flouts federal order, withholds lunch ladies' unemployment benefits - CSMonitor.com

 "Tradition" versus reality, tough call,,,my question, (this is also an issue here locally) is this an example of legal vs moral OR an example of complacency (not being prepared),,, as we all are (or should be) well aware of the economic difficulties our country is facing as a whole,,,falling back on the status quo just isn't enough,,,


Mr. Butler has called it a states’ rights issue, contending he within his rights to refuse payment because the people aren't technically unemployed; summer breaks are a part of their contracts and they don't receive new contracts until the fall. But these 4,000 school bus drivers, janitors, pre-K teachers, and landscapers have traditionally received jobless benefits during the summer and have budgeted for it, creating hardships.
