AOL News (July 1) -- Welfare recipients in California will have fewer places to get relief, now that strip bars are being stripped off the list.

More than $12,000 from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program was dispensed from the start of 2007 to the end of 2009 at various California strip bars, casinos and state-licensed poker rooms, according to officials at the Department of Social Services quoted in the Los Angeles Times
