From the Daily News:
Welfare checks could no longer go for beer, booze and babes under a bill that passed the New York state Senate on Tuesday.
The bill would bar welfare cash withdrawals at liquor stores and strip clubs, and would penalize recipients caught blowing support checks on sin and vice with the loss of benefits for a month or more.
The feds have ordered states to crack down on welfare waste, fraud and abuse by February or lose 5% of their federal public assistance funding.
