Kansas: No pools, concerts, lingerie on state aid

(BBC News) Kansas has tightened its rules on how welfare recipients can spend their aid, banning the purchase of concert tickets, lingerie and dozens of other leisure items.


Governor Sam Brownback signed the law on Thursday, saying it would encourage people to get back to work.


Other states prevent welfare recipients from buying alcohol and cigarettes with government aid.


But the revised Kansas list appears to be the most extensive in the US.
