As you may have heard, according to a story in the Boston Herald, “Kimball Clark, 45, was locked up Friday on drug-dealing charges — again — when he was overheard using his one phone call to ask the person on the other end of the line to ‘get my EBT card and go to the ATM and get the money to bail me out, get me outa here tonight,’ according to a Boston police report.”

Representative O’Connell weighed in on the on-going abuse of EBT benefits as well as her continued calls for reform of the taxpayer funded program.
