Kadner: Shutdown becomes real for local residents
October 8th, 2013 | Posted by in Did you know? | News | Shutdown | Web - (0 Comments)Edgar Mullins, of Richton Park, and Justin Jones, of Chicago Heights, became victims of the federal government shutdown on Thursday.
They lined up early in the morning in front of the Social Security Administration office in Chicago Heights.
The office was open for business but wasn’t offering new or replacement Social Security cards, the reason Mullins and Jones were there.
“I lost my Social Security card years ago when my wallet was stolen and need one to start truck driving school on Monday,” Mullins, 31, told me as we stood in front of the SSA building on Halsted Street near 197th Street.
“They told me inside that until the government returns to normal, I’m out of luck.”
