Job center blasted for giving capes to unemployed - Yahoo! News: "Florida officials are investigating an unemployment agency that spent public money to give 6,000 superhero capes to the jobless.
Workforce Central Florida spent more than $14,000 on the red capes as part of its 'Cape-A-Bility Challenge' public relations campaign. The campaign featured a cartoon character, 'Dr. Evil Unemployment,' who needs to be vanquished.
Florida's unemployment agency director asked Monday for an investigation of the regional operation's spending after the Orlando Sentinel published a story about the program. State director Cynthia Lorenzo said the spending appeared to be 'insensitive and wasteful.'"
