Center is opening not a moment too soon

jobless9Some struggling Wichitans likely wish it was already open, but it’s good that Laid-Off Workers Center is now taking appointments. The center opens June 1 and will offer financial assistance for food, shelter and utilities and help in job searches. Kudos to the United Way of the Plains for operating the center and for its commitment to helping those in need. To make an appointment, call the United Way’s information number, 2-1-1, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

    Any port in the storm is helpful to those in need. We should all support United Way of the Plains on their next call for contributions.

    Haven’t you heard, it’s the workers’ fault they’re out of work?

    Prediction for today:

    1. It’s all President Obama’s fault

    2. It’s all the unions fault.

    3. It’s all Clinton’s fault.

    Let the blame-game begin!
