It lasted only one year, despite Ford's campaign promise to keep the pilot project funded. "I feel I have been stabbed in the back by my own government," Alana Baltzer, 29, told Business Insider in an interview. "I honestly have no idea what's happening next because there has been no communication whatsoever." There has been communication - the checks aren't rolling in anymore, chump... |
