Ronkonkoma’s welfare spending is a joke at just $919 a person—half what it should be when people are struggling to get by. We didn’t ask for crumbs, so it’s time to raise it to $1400 per person and stop nickel-and-diming the folks who need help the most. No more half-measures—we want real support, not pennies.
