St Paul, MN – Members of the Welfare Rights Committee construct “Venturaville” out of cardboard boxes and tarps, in front of Governor Jesse Ventura's office, inside Minnesota State Capitol building. Low-income people slammed the Ventura's anti-poor budget proposal.

Leaders of the W.R.C. and the Student Association for the Advancement of Children as People (SAACP) for an end to the 5-year life time limit on public assistance.

A statement from the Welfare Rights Committee declared, “The welfare provisions in the Governor's budget are a recipe for homelessness and disaster. We will fight the administration every step of the way.”
