GOP Proposals Target SNAP Restrictions for Work Requirements
Controversy Erupts Over Arizona Republicans’ Plans to SNAP Restrictions
According to wmicentral, in Arizona, there are two new ideas from Republicans in the state government. They want to change how people get help with buying food if they need it. These ideas would make it harder for some Arizonans to keep getting government help with food. The proposals would make people do training or work to keep getting food assistance from a program called SNAP, which helps families buy groceries when they don’t have much money.
