In this episode, Mark is talking with Anna Wolfe about Mississippi's Welfare Scandal.

Anna Wolfe is an investigative reporter for Mississippi Today, a nonprofit newsroom founded in 2016. Her coverage of poverty, public assistance and debtors prisons has received national recognition, including the Goldsmith Prize, the Collier Prize and the National Press Foundation’s Poverty and Inequality Award. 

Before joining the staff at Mississippi Today, she held several beats at Mississippi’s statewide newspaper, the Clarion Ledger, where she covered city hall and reported award-winning stories about medical billing and hunger in the Mississippi Delta. Born and raised in Washington State, Wolfe attended Mississippi State University and has lived in Jackson, Mississippi since graduating in 2014.

Tune in to hear an in-depth discussion about the welfare scandal, how it started, who’s involved, and how this has affected the residents of Mississippi.
