Gov. Evan Bayh’s administration claimed credit Tuesday when a federal report showed Indiana had cut its welfare rolls by 30 percent over the past year.
Bayh won the Clinton administration’s approval to restrict benefits available through Aid to Families With Dependent Children, the primary welfare program.
Figures released Monday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services showed the number of people on welfare in Indiana — mostly women and children — had dropped more than 63,000 since 1993.
