70 mayors sign letter opposing Trump proposal that would restrict access to food stamps

The Hill - Seventy mayors from around the nation on Wednesday came out in "strong opposition" of a Trump administration proposal that could slash food stamp benefits for about 3 million people.

“As mayors, we serve as the CEOs of the nation’s cities; and remain most concerned about any proposal that will reduce improvements to the health of our residents, weaken nutrition programs, deteriorate advances to healthy food access, and spur declines in local and regional economies," the U.S. Conference of Mayors says in a letter sent to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
