Frank Pallone: “Republicans are absolutely more apprehensive about cutting Medicaid today than during those earlier episodes.”

Donald Trump is stiffing New Jersey taxpayers out of $84 million in disaster aid that his own government determined we qualified for.

Trump is treating federal disaster aid like his personal political slush fund, and Republicans in Congress are too afraid to lift a finger to stop him.

This level of reduction is insufficient to address the ecological consequences of declining menhaden abundance.

We, therefore, urge the Commission to adopt a substantial reduction in the Atlantic menhaden TAC that reflects the best available science and supports the rebuilding of dependent species.
