Pritzker slams SNAP rules; Republican says checks are not controversial – Center Square

Gov. JB Pritzker said SNAP provides more than $7 billion in economic activity for Illinois every year and extra checks on eligibility Trump implemented are too burdensome. “And the more burden we put on the poorest people in our state, the harder it is for us to deliver for them because the federal government has put up these barriers,” he said.

I recall a person here in South Florida buying snow crab legs(uncooked of course) with a SNAP card. While some people need this benefit it is abused to a GREAT degree.
