Mayors nationwide oppose Trump administration proposal to take 3 million people off food stamps:
The U.S. Conference of Mayors on Wednesday released a bipartisan letter signed by 70 mayors opposing the Trump administration’s proposal to cut 3 million people off food stamps through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program .
“As Mayors, we serve as the CEOs of the nation’s cities; and remain most concerned about any proposal that will reduce improvements to the health of our residents, weaken nutrition programs, deteriorate advances to healthy food access, and spur declines in local and regional economies.” the letter said.
The administration proposal aims to close a loophole where individuals receiving minimal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families would not be automatically enrolled in the SNAP program as well. The proposed plan would save an average of $2.5 billion per year, according to Acting Deputy Under Secretary Brandon Lipps.
