The Ranking Member of the House Ag Committee says it’s about time the committee has reviewed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in the farm bill which he says has been unchecked for the past four years.
Congressman Glenn GT Thompson, a Pennsylvania Republican, shared his frustration in Thursday’s hearing.
“My Democratic colleagues have already drawn a line in the sand that this program will not be touched in the next reauthorization of the farm bill—that’s why we have reauthorizations to make sure we’re getting it right and making adjustments where needed,” he says.
