Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. yesterday called the food-stamp fraud scheme exposed by The Post a "slap in the face" to taxpayers.
Vallone (D-Queens) blasted the shady practice of New Yorkers filling up barrels of goods purchased on their EBT cards then shipping them to the Dominican Republic to be sold.
"We pay our taxes here because we understand that the money is necessary to fund essential services and provide a safety net," Vallone said.
"But for New York City taxpayers to now find out that their hard-earned money is being used to make a profit in other countries is a slap in our face."
Vallone, who has supported a crackdown on welfare fraud in the past, said legislators must stop such flagrant abuses:
"It's up to our leadership to stop making it easier to obtain benefits and ignoring welfare fraud."
