We would like to be included in the SNAP program, and we are requesting that. It is only fair that we get the same nutrition assistance as our fellow American citizens in the States.
We cannot repair the units or give them even regular maintenance, as they should.
I am not going to support any restructuring that is not sustainable, that is not affordable.
