Making Work Pay - December 2006
I was listening to Ben Meren's show on WPR yesterday and heard a caller mention the COWS study on low-wage jobs. It seems that the station went off the air for a moment cutting off the beginning of his remarks. You can still get a feel for what he is saying as well as him plugging the COWS website. If you would like to hear it click the link below. The comment is about 22 minutes and 26 seconds into the program.

I think that it would be a great idea to start writing letters to the editors of our local papers regarding the hidden costs of low-wage jobs and how to better use TIFs as a development tool.
Below please find instructions for using our LTE tool. It is very easy and convenient. If you plan on sending a letter to the editor please let everyone know about it in the comments section of this post.

If you have already registered at our site, you simply log in (unless you are already logged in now) and look in the right hand column for the "LetterRip" section. Click on "Daily Newspapers" enter your zip and click on the "Participate" button. Check the papers that you want to receive your LTE, write it and send.
Certainly come back and let the rest of us know if your letter was published.
