Statement on House Republican Budget Resolution
Resolution with dangerous cuts to SNAP and Medicaid set to be voted on by the full Congress as early as today
MADISON, Wis. – Opportunity Wisconsin Program Director Meghan Roh released the following statement on House Republicans’ budget resolution, which advanced out of the Rules Committee last night and could be voted on by members as early as today:
“The Republican budget resolution would be devastating for Wisconsin families who rely on Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical programs, while delivering more tax breaks to those at the top. If it’s enacted, this plan will force steep cuts and force Wisconsinites to pay more out of their own pockets, including the 1.2 million people enrolled in Medicaid – 300,000 of which are kids. During House Recess, Opportunity Wisconsin, along with other grassroots groups and 35 constituents, gathered at Congressman Bryan Steil’s St. Francis office to demand he oppose these massive Medicaid cuts and more tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.
“Wisconsin’s Republican congressmen, including Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil, have an opportunity to vote against this budget plan and send a clear message that these devastating cuts are off the table.”
