The Atlanta Journal-Constitution invited two local experts to debate the controversies surrounding food stamps.
The experts came from different sides of the political spectrum. They were Melissa Johnson, a senior policy analyst for the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, a left leaning think tank, and Benita Dodd, vice president of the Georgia Public Policy Foundation, a fiscally conservative think tank.
