The state is cutting jobless benefits: will this affect you or someone you know?

In Washington and Idaho unemployed workers will soon receive only 73 weeks of benefits instead of 99. Read the report from The Spokesman-Review here. That's a loss of six months of income. Washington state officials estimate that 12,500 Washington residents who are out of work will lose their benefits after April 21 because of the change. We want to hear from the people who are affected.

3. Where? I have a friend who worked for 30 years at Mama's

He is a good employee and is as you can tell from his tenure, one that is loyal. He worked up from dishwasher to cook to manager. PM me if you are interested in talking to him.

2. I would tell them

Vote Democratic next time. It's a shame for those that did and they still have to live with this. If people by now don't see the difference between the 2 parties by now, there is no hope. I know that doesn't help right now, and I feel for them.
