Governor Andrew Cuomo today called on Congress to protect New York's families and reject the federal government's cuts to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program. Cuomo says an initial analysis by the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance shows that more than 1.25 million households or 2.3 million New Yorkers would have their monthly food assistance drastically reduced under the President's proposed budget, which slashes funding for SNAP by approximately 30 percent.
