“I will tell you what we have done in Pensacola, FL. What we have started up, we started a community service network. I got together 3 or 4 months ago with community leaders. One is a doctor, Reed Bell, who has just been instrumental. He has cared. He is a pediatrician. He has done great work in the community for years, caring for disadvantaged children, caring for those in need. I talked to Dr. Bell, and he had come up with an idea, a private sector welfare reform, where when people come off of welfare, we create a community service network of all of these different community service organizations that would work together, that would draw in churches and synagogues, and get these people when they come off of welfare and help them get on their feet and do everything they can to empower those people without going back on the welfare rolls a month or two later. You know, at the time I came up with the idea, Dr. Bell had already come up with the idea, had been doing it for some time before me. I thought, hey, I have got a great idea. He had already been thinking about it, and we got together, and, with Dr. Bell's leadership, we have launched this community service network. And it is going to make a big difference. But that is something that is spreading throughout this country.…”
