Welfare money taken from strip club ATMs won’t be long for California once Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger enacts a total recall. From 2007 to 2009, $ 12,000 in TANF welfare funds were withdrawn from strip club ATMs across California, reports the Los Angeles Times. Among the strip clubs noted by name in this ongoing investigation are Sam’s Hofbrau, Seventh Veil and Star Strip, according to the California Department of Social Services.
Strip club welfare ATMs – When you need adult entertainment
Less-than-responsible is an apt way to describe use of strip club ATMs for online cash loans, which is why Schwarzenegger is prepared to terminate. Quick TANF payday funds are accessible via ATM in over half of California’s casinos and poker rooms, writes the Times. Lizelda Lopez of Social Services said that a “common sense” approach is needed to evaluate where ATM locations for TANF access are most appropriate.
Strip club ATMs? Managers didn’t know
Strip club managers who were willing to submit to interviews claim that they had no way of knowing that the strip club ATMs were welfare approved. Joey Mancini of Star Strip said the third-party machines were supposedly from Quest ATM, but there was no sticker that marked it as welfare money compatible. Thus, Mr. Mancini insisted that California was wrong of accusing him of any wrongdoing, despite the fact that $ 1,265 TANF emergency cash today bucks were take in his club recently.
Smile when you say that, Mr. Mancini. Gov. Schwarzenegger is watching.
