Fort Wayne-Social Security for the Elderly and Disabled.

All right now. Congressperson Mark Souder has entered the debate on the movement of the the local Social Security office from its current location. The current location is on the bus line making the office accessible to high disadvantaged groups. Whereas, the new location will discourage those high disadvantaged groups from getting their needs met.

I would say the fact that Congressperson Souder aide was barred from the meeting did not make Souder a happy camper. Well I am still waiting on Souder to address the drug problem in Fort Wayne. But, this Social Security debacle is a quick fix

.

“They’re behaving like they don’t want public scrutiny,” Souder said of the local Social Security officials. In an interview, Souder said he sent an aide to attend a meeting about the move, but the staff member was refused admittance by Cordelia Davis, the district manager of the Fort Wayne office.

Davis could not be reached Wednesday evening. Souder mailed and e-mailed the letter after 5 p.m., and Davis’ home phone mailbox was full.

“At the end of the day, it wasn’t clear to me, to be honest, at this late stage in the process whether anything could actually be done,” Souder said. “But the way they have behaved has now set off a red flag of warning to me that there may be more to this than I thought.”

“In fact, there may be quite a few people who use public transportation. They were supposed to calculate that in the bid,” he said.
