Ohioans’ food stamp aid to be reduced

[BMT (RIP)]

Ohio families receiving food stamps could get an unwelcome surprise come January: $50 less every month in assistance.

The Rev. Steve Anthony, executive director of Toledo Area Ministries, said, “It will put a strain on all organizations that provide emergency food. We’re going to have to find alternatives. We can’t pull food or money out of thin air.”

I guess they are getting the memo.

I would expect more of this...

Farm bill could hinge on budget talks

The farm bill passed by the Senate in June would save $23 billion over 10 years, while a version passed by the House Agriculture Committee in July would save $35 billion. The savings come from cuts to farm subsidies and by tightening eligibility requirements for those who receive food stamps, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.
