Indicted were 37-year-old Donald Maskin, 38-year old David Hustle, and Larry Dunn. All a bottom. Another man entitled, William Inglis, an MIT graduate with top secret government clearances is charged with taking children to Florida for prostitution and making obscene films.

I found that even by the most conservative estimates, almost 10 million dollars are being lost through error and fraud in the state's welfare system every year. Those are federal and state tax dollars that are deducted from your paycheck. Tonight I'm going to tell you what welfare fraud is, who's doing it, why they're still getting away with it, and why the welfare system is not working. Remember the welfare system in Maryland handles millions of tax dollars which are supposed to be going to those who are in real need but which all too often end up in the hands of welfare cheaters. There are as many kinds of welfare fraud as there are days in the month. Some of the most common kinds are these. The illegal buying and selling of food stamps on the street, fraud committed by workers who are collecting a full-time salary at the job and receiving a full welfare check in the mail at the same time. Theft and fraud committed by caseworkers and other Department of Social Services employees themselves. Often these schemes involve a caseworker and a client or several clients who are working together. And there are more lots more ways that people rip off the welfare system by using two or three or four or a dozen different names and cashing checks under each name each month or cashing checks in Maryland Washington DC Virginia and Delaware all in the same month. Or by reporting the first check that comes in the mail as stolen. Social services will issue a new check, then go cash both of them. The list goes on and on. We found one of the most common kinds of welfare fraud involves food stamps. In fact, some law enforcement officials tell me that food stamp fraud is completely out of control, and is so common that at a recent meeting of fraud prosecutors, one federal food stamp enforcement officer said that investigators and prosecutors. Can even begin to touch most of the food stamp ripoff. Food stamps are sold or given free to the very poor. They use the stamps to buy food, which they would otherwise not be able to afford with the little bit of money they have. But what often happens is that the stamps end up being sold on the street by the recipient to someone else. When that happens, both the buyer and the seller benefit. And you know who pays for it, you and me, the taxpayers, in the taxes taken out of our paycheck. The buyer will purchase, let's say, $30 or $40 worth of food stamps on the street, or let's say $20 in cash. That means that he can then go to the food store, and for his $20 cash outlay, he can buy $30, or$ 40 worth of the food with the stamps he bought illegally. For the seller, who gets the food stamps for free, or close to it, and who supposedly needs the stamps for food, well, he makes $20 hard cash in the illegal transaction. $20 that obviously will not be spent on food Otherwise, he would have kept the food stamps in the first place and bought more food with $30 or $40 worth of stamp value. According to government estimates, tens of millions of tax dollars are ripped off each year by food stamp cheaters. I learned that in Baltimore, there are illegal food stamp distribution centers where the stamps are peddled from a central location. Often, drugs are sold side by side with the stamps at the same location. In some cases, it's the employees of the Social Services Department, caseworkers and others who are stealing the welfare system blind.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/149164/file/273788#t=784.38,987.59"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/149164/file/273788/transcript/80290/annotation/32","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 15:\u003c/strong\u003e When I got arrested, federal people said I took $60,000 for welfare for her.

I also discovered that almost one out of every ten welfare recipients is working and getting more than they deserve. Not all workers who are getting welfare on the side are mired in poverty. Some are double dippers. They are employed by the federal government, and they illegally receive a government welfare check. Highly placed sources tell me that within a matter of weeks, there will be indictments in Baltimore federal court stemming from Operation Match. Under this program, the social security numbers of federal workers are matched with the social-security numbers of welfare recipients to find out who is working and collecting. I have learned that out of an initial batch of more than 2,000 federal workers in Maryland to our collecting welfare. A list of about 1,500 matchups is now in the hands of the Maryland U.S. Attorney. He'll sort through the cases and decide how much money has been stolen and which federal employees are doing the stealing. Further, I've been told by sources in Washington that the Justice Department will prosecute any federal worker who's making at least $10,000 a year and who has collected $2,000 or more in welfare money. All of the remaining cases will go to the state for local prosecution. But my sources tell me there is no doubt there will be federal indictments. Baltimore has the second highest percentage of people on welfare among all the major cities in the United States. More than 133,000 Baltimoreans depend on the monthly welfare check to make ends meet. The Welfare Quality Control Unit in Maryland suspects fraud in almost 11 and a half percent of the welfare cases in Baltimore City. But some experts think it's even more than that.

On July 1, 1975, a state law went into effect requiring that all new welfare applicants be advised of the penalty for welfare fraud when they first apply for the money. Practically a year later, in the summer of 1976, it was discovered that the requirement had never been carried out in Baltimore City or anywhere else in Maryland. Worse yet, I discovered it still took the state more than two months to come up with an acceptable fraud statement, the Form 401A. But the damage was already done. Because the Maryland Human Resources Department had ignored the state's own regulation, almost a thousand welfare fraud cases were dropped in Baltimore city alone just last year.

And even after the mistake had been caught and state officials knew what was happening, it still took more than two more months to draw up this two-page fraud statement. Add two more months to open season at the taxpayers' expense. The incredible Form 401A bungling is one reason there has been an alarming drop in the number of welfare fraud cases that have been prosecuted in Baltimore during the past three years. In 1975, 249 welfare fraud case were prosecuted here. By 1977, the number of prosecutions had dropped to 80. In 75, the courts ordered welfare cheaters to make retribution to pay back a total of almost $300,000. By last year, that had dropped to 100,000. In our investigation, we discovered that another reason for this situation is the length of time it takes welfare investigators in Maryland to complete a case. After I checked the records, I found out that as of December 1977, there were still more than 1,500 welfare fraud cases either currently being investigated or not yet even assigned to an investigator in Baltimore City. That's a 1, 500 case log jam. The investigative unit, the SIU, was completing an average of about 50 cases a month. This means that it would take SIU the next two and a half years just to complete the cases they already have backed up, even if not one single new case was added to the load until 1981. The head of the major frauds division of the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office says that kind of work is not acceptable.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/149164/file/273788#t=1567.04,1671.7"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/149164/file/273788/transcript/80290/annotation/59","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 18:\u003c/strong\u003e They're still working with the same number of investigators as they had several years ago.

That means that if the case is not brought to trial within one year after the fraud occurs, then it cannot be prosecuted, ever. One of my sources passed me some secret Department of Social Services memos on the fraud problem. The memos clearly state that more than 300 welfare fraud case had to be dropped last year because the statute of limitation had run out. So in Baltimore City, during 1977, 933 welfare fraud cases were not prosecuted because of the 401A form, and more than 300 more were dropped because of a statute of limitations. That's over 1,200 fraud cases that never made it to court. Only 80, that's right, 80 cases were successfully prosecuted. This year, the Maryland General Assembly did vote to extend the one-year statute of limitations to three years. So as of this July 1st, there will at least be more time to try welfare fraud cases in Maryland. But the problems of investigating welfare cheating don't end there. The investigators themselves have their hands tied. One of those investigators is Thomas Alston. Recently, I went with Alston on a round of house calls. At three stops out of four, nobody was home.

The National Welfair Fraud Association recommends that there should be one investigator for every 1,000 recipients. In Baltimore, there is one investigator, for more than 16,000 clients. Now I've thrown a lot of facts and figures at you, so let's summarize here. First of all, there's the grand jury report released today. It blasted the inept management, excessive red tape, and sloppy investigative work of the Baltimore City welfare system. Okay, second, there are lots of ways to rip off welfare, and I can assure you that all of them are going on right now. As a matter of fact, some experts believe there is fraud in 20 to 40 percent of welfare cases in Baltimore. Also, the most common kinds of fraud involve food stamps, working people who are collecting welfare on the side. And social services employees who are stealing themselves. Along those lines, informed sources tell me that indictments will be returned within a matter of just a few weeks against federal workers in Maryland who are double-dipping. Now here's another thing, many people blame the case workers for going soft on welfare cheaters but the workers told me that the real trouble is with their bosses at the Department of Social Services that they work under orders not to rock the boat by challenging welfare ripoffs. And that in many cases agency rules practically encourage cheating finally we've seen that welfare fraud flourishes because of bureaucratic ineptitude like in the case of the form four oh one a and because of the tremendous backlog of fraud investigations which are not completed jerry fewer and fewer cases are actually making it to court","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/149164/file/273788#t=1824.45,1922.67"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/149164/file/273788/transcript/80290/annotation/67","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 2:\u003c/strong\u003e Well, we have seen a lot of ways to cheat welfare, but I think one of the more disturbing things that you touched on there and what we talked about earlier is the fact that some of the rules and regulations actually allow rip-offs, legal rip-off.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/149164/file/273788#t=1923.39,1936.53"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/149164/file/273788/transcript/80290/annotation/68","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 14:\u003c/strong\u003e That's right, Jerry.

Which right now promises to give us some more rain activity on Sunday into Monday. Getting back to this storm out in the west, a very unusual storm, heavy snows, heavy snow warning right now for almost all of Colorado, Wyoming, parts of Montana, even parts of the South Dakota area into Nebraska, temperatures near the freezing mark. This afternoon, most areas in Wyoming were right around the upper 20s. 15 to 16 inches of snow in many locations. In the higher elevations, even in the lower elevations they've been getting anywhere from 4 to 6 inches of snow. Denver this afternoon, 34 degrees. They've gotten about 5 inches of the snow in Denver. This system, with the cold air to the north, warm moisture coming up ahead of it, will be moving to the east, spreading precipitation eastward.

Here in the east this afternoon we had a very weak storm off the New Jersey coast. I just gave some light drizzle to our region, but some heavier rains to the north and east of the storm, the cold front trailing into Florida, only 78 in Miami, a little cooler than normal. In the 50s and 40s, now region to our southwest, slightly warmer air moving in. This frontal system and low pressure system will give us some additional cloudiness tonight and a little bit of cloudiness tomorrow before this one over in the Mississippi region by tomorrow begins to develop and then move toward the east. It looks like Only one nice day and that will be tomorrow, so enjoy it because by later tomorrow night precipitation all the way from the southern Appalachians westward just about to Chicago all the to the Rocky Mountains with snow throughout the entire Rocky Mountain range and 37 tomorrow in parts of the southern Wyoming, 41 called for Denver with some more snow likely in Denver tomorrow. So kind of strange weather for May, 15 to 16 inches of snow out there, ridiculous, 53 in Salisbury. 49 in Annapolis right now, 44 in Harrisburg, 45 in Pikesville, 51 DC, 10 mile an hour winds or less tomorrow, variable, no real direction. Kind of a dull day to be out on the bay, but you might get some sailing in. The forecast for tonight, rather cloudy, and we'll also have some fog, low from 44 to 48 degrees. By the way, that's a fern. Ferns love this kind of weather. Tomorrow, partly sunny, milder, a pretty decent day, 62 to 67. More clouds tomorrow night and Sunday, occasional rain, likely high of 62.

Here we were, a group from the Maryland Science Center, and the instant eye, about to have a close encounter with some visiting Russian scientists. Between all of us about to board the ship, the only Russian word we knew was vodka. Besides that, we were really gonna see live and in person some Russians. Now once I'm aboard the ship I really felt kinda dumb about that last statement. With the help of City Management Analysis, Orville Hughes, who represented the Mayor and who speaks pretty fluent Russian, we overcame the biggest barrier, which was understanding each other. At that point, we began to realize that our hosts were citizens of this planet just like us, and that they were as excited about being here as we were of being there. As the vodka did flow, we were told the crew of the academic kurchatov had been studying the eddies and other tidal effects in the Bermuda Triangle to see how they affected global weather. We also learned that the study was a joint effort of the Soviet Union and the USA, with some help from England, France, and West Germany. Dr. Krill Murashkin explained the project to me in detail, then said something that Bob Turk and I have been saying for months.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/149164/file/273788#t=3332.07,3404.65"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/149164/file/273788/transcript/80290/annotation/121","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker 34:\u003c/strong\u003e Do you see?
