As Congressional Republicans fight to shortchange food assistance and other key programs, Congress kicks the can on federal funding again
Thursday, February 29, 2024
MADISON, Wis. – Opportunity Wisconsin Program Director Meghan Roh released the following statement after the House passed the latest continuing resolution earlier today:
“Congressional Republicans have had months to introduce proposals that fund the government without harmful cuts to programs that support many Wisconsinites – they’ve failed. Instead, they’ve floated plans to shortchange food assistance programs that help children and mothers, reduce access to Social Security, or force cuts to public education that threaten teachers’ jobs. With the new deadlines now moved back to March 8th and 22nd, it’s time for Congressmen Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden to fight for spending packages that support working families and seniors here in Wisconsin.”
