The Department of Labor and Industry says the decision to close all five Governor's Veterans Outreach and Assistance Center offices was difficult, but necessary given the economy.
The program has offices in Boyertown, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg and West Pittston and a $900,000 annual budget. It was funded through a federal grant.
Brian Morris, director of Erie's office, acknowledged the program provides duplicate services, but said client numbers demonstrated a need. It served about 400 to 600 new clients yearly.
The labor department says funding will go to the state's CareerLink program.

Lets get real:
Why pick on the veterans that serviced this country and spilled blood on foreign soil. The person who suggested this is ANTI_AMERICAN and you can be replaced.
Why not pick on the illegals that collect welfare and food stamps and who knows what other programs that could be saved by endinf all programs for illegals.
