Karen,
I think Michigan is a better program than West Virginia's.  This program is 
in bad shape here in many ways.

>> >> Good morning to all, I have been working in a vending facility for two

>> >> my

>> >> I had to hire employees and the place had to be thoroughly cleaned and
>> >> that
>> >> cleaning took two weeks.
>> >> When I arrived at this location the vending machines were antiquated 
>> >> to
>> >> say
>> >> the least. Some of those machines have been there since the 70's. They 
>> >> do
>> >> not work properly and much of the time they don't work at all. A lot 
>> >> of
>> >> time is spent opening the doors and assisting customers in getting 
>> >> their
>> >> products. The first day I came to work there I put in a request for 
>> >> new
>> >> machines. My food merchandiser was not functioning at all. Anyway this

>> >> My miracle is the State of West Virginia self insures the state

>> >> our people in West Virginia are the most obese in the nation.

>> >> their
>> >> employees. After many discussions I explained that my location looked
>> >> uninviting and my equipment was not adequate for me to do the job
>> >> properly.
>> >> Rehab was asked to purchase the equipment I needed and they said they
>> >> were
>> >> out of money and could not do it.
>> >> Before I knew about the health food program I filed a grievance to get 
>> >> my
>> >> food merchandiser replaced. I was successful in getting the 
>> >> merchandiser
>> >> but was told we have spent enough on your location and we can't get
>> >> anything
>> >> else for you.
>> >> The miracle is that a high ranking official in this state realized 
>> >> what
>> >> was
>> >> happening and the state is remodeling my location.
>> >> They are painting the walls, replacing the tile, purchasing new
>> >> furniture, I
>> >> will have seating for 45 people to sit and eat their lunch. They are
>> >> decorating the eating area, and I am getting a vending machine that 
>> >> pops
>> >> fresh pop corn. I am elated and it is a miracle from the Lord. I am so
>> >> thankful and I know it would not have happened if the Lord had not 
>> >> gotten
>> >> involved. Thank you Lord Jesus! Praise His Holy name!
