Law keeps deceased from getting welfare
LANSING (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder has signed into law requirements that the state check to make sure welfare recipients haven’t died or gone to prison.
The state Department of Human Services already has policies in place to deactivate the Bridge Cards of prisoners and people found in the U.S. Social Security Death Index.
Legislation signed Wednesday codifies the practices in Michigan law.
Snyder and the bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Tim Kelly of Saginaw, say preventing welfare fraud makes “common sense.”
Under the law, the state is required to do monthly checks for dead people and inmates with Bridge Cards, debit cards holding cash assistance.

Court to take up case over protest at base
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will decide whether to reinstate a man’s conviction for protesting outside a military base in California.
Federal officials are asking justices to reinstate John Dennis Apel’s trespass convictions.
Apel had been banned from Vandenberg Air Force Base for previous protesting activities, so he set up in a designated protest area on a highway that passes through the base.
The military owns the highway but grants the state and Santa Barbara County an easement so the public can use it.
Military officials say since Apel had been banned from the base, he also could not use the protest area.
Federal appeals judges overturned his conviction, saying since the military does not have exclusive right of possession to the highway, Apel’s trespass conviction had to be dismissed.

Order filed removing sheriff from office
MARSHALL, Ark. (AP) — A circuit judge has filed an order removing Searcy County Sheriff Kenny Cassell from office after the Arkansas Supreme Court found Cassell was ineligible for the post.
The order from Circuit Judge David Clinger says Cassell should be removed immediately from office.
Two weeks ago, the high court found that Cassell’s 1979 conviction for possessing stolen hens made him ineligible to serve.
Searcy County Judge Johnny Hinchley tells the Harrison Daily Times that he’s called a special meeting for the Searcy County Quorum Court. Hinchley says the court will be asked to pass a resolution and declare a vacancy in the sheriff’s post.
Officials say seven people have already applied for the position.
Cassell’s attorney has said his client hopes to remain involved in the community.
