▲► Regional Economic Community Action Program (RECAP) hosted a poverty simulation on Thursday, January 12 for teachers and administrators of the Cornwall School District. Held nationwide by nonprofits and community action groups, the interactive events let participants experience the issues faced by people living in poverty. The conclusion revealed, not surprisingly, that affordability of transportation within Orange County has long been a hardship facing low income people. Participants were allotted or needed to purchase transportation vouchers representing the costs of public transportation, cab fare, or the price of maintaining their own vehicle.
