John Boozman: “I really feel like that is--if there is a solution, that that is one of the key components to it.”

Should this legislation be defeated today, current law will remain in effect, and states who poorly administer SNAP programs will begin to pay for the portion of the benefit cost next year.

This is really not about SNAP recipients, this is about allowing states to continue making error rates that are unimaginable.

I’m deeply disappointed by this outcome.

While this is clearly welcome progress, we need more of our colleagues’ votes to reflect the urgency of supporting farmers, ranchers, forest landowners and rural communities.
