There've been complaints that people were being forced to repay overpayments that were sometimes paid to their parents or guardians when they were children.
ESCONDIDO, Calif. (AP) — The Escondido Country Club in San Diego County, California is absolutely breath-taking. Literally. The owner is in trouble with the county for spreading smelly chicken manure on the golf course, and residents say it's overpowering. The U-T San Diego newspaper says the county issued a public nuisance citation Monday, and the owner of the now-defunct country club could be fined $10,000 a day. The egg ranch that supplied the manure also has been cited.
