Torres Ray takes the $101 pledge

Several Minnesota lawmakers have been challenged to live on the same amount that families on Minnesota's welfare program get per week. Many, including Senator Patricia Torres Ray (MPA '02), say they can't do it on the $101 a week their family would get. The Minnesota legislature is considering a request to raise the amount it gives out per family through the Minnesota Family Investment Program.
