    How did Alan Grayson's wife get approved for public assistance?

    Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2014

    Why is Rep. Alan Grayson's wife on food stamps?





    Alan and Lolita Grayson

    By Kirk Healy

    Alan Grayson is one of the richest congressmen in America worth an estimated $26 million, yet his estranged wife, Lolita is now on food stamps to support her children.

    An investigation by our sister station WFTV-Channel 9 reveals that the congressman's four kids are also getting free lunches at school, paid for by tax dollars.

    Channel 9's, Karla Ray also witnessed mold all over the house, along with a leaking septic system. Grayson's attorney, Mark Nejame says Grayson is paying $10,000 a month for the mortgage, utilities, and phone. According to Nejame, she also gets $592 per child in support. Rep. Grayson is refusing to pay spousal support because he says his marriage to her was never legal. That will be determined next month in an Orange County courtroom.

    He is a lawyer, they have been married for 25 years and now he says it isn't legal? Another example of the Democrat War on Women?

    Wife of Alan Grayson, named 17th richest member of Congress, receiving food stamps to feed his kids

    Not that the timing makes it any more egregious, but six days after being named the 17th richest member of Congress, it’s being reported that U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson‘s estranged wife has been issued an EBT card to help feed his children.

    Lolita Grayson was approved for public assistance by the state of Florida, and their four minor children — they have five children altogether — are also enrolled in the free lunch program in Orange County schools, according to ABC affiliate WFTV.
    The stay-at-home mom was asked if she ever thought she’d be on food stamps.

    “No,” Lolita responded. “Never, because my husband, he’s been the sole provider for me for the last 29 years.”

    In filing for public assistance, Lolita said her monthly income consisted of $592 per child.

    Grayons’ attorney attributed her actions to politics the week before an election, telling WFTV his client pays about $10,000 a month for the mortgage, utilities and phone bill for the home.

    “This is abusing the public,” attorney Mark Nejame said. “She’s going out and asking for support because she can’t support herself on $120,000? That’s outrageous.”

    Married to the bombastic congressman for 24 years, she filed for divorce early this year and it didn’t take long for things to get messy. There was a physical altercation at their home a short time later — she accused Grayson of battering her and he countered by saying she hit him. He would later charge his wife with bigamy while filing for an annulment of their 24-year marriage.

    The Democrat lawmaker, a former trial lawyer, is not paying spousal support because he claims the marriage was never valid due to the bigamy charge, WFTV reported.

    The same week Roll Call reported that Grayson enjoyed a $10 million dollar surge in his net worth, Lolita claimed he would not pay for needed repairs at the 5,300-square-foot Orlando house where she is living with the children, according to WFTV.
    According to a court filing, the roof leaks and there are broken windows, resulting in a serious mold problem.

    “The wife has been a stay-at-home wife and mother and is financially dependent on her husband,” the filing said. “The wife has no financial resources to contribute to the repairs and maintenance of the marital residence.”

    Grayson’s attorneys responded by attributing the problem to her being “a poor housekeeper,” but a WFTV reporter saw a septic leak in front of the home and mold in nearly every room.
