Fwd: Rhode Island SNAP benefits massacre ?





   News tip or old news ? Why were senior citizens living on fixed social security incomes at the Cranston Housing Authority  suddenly told this weekend by calls from DHS ( humorously called the Department of Human Suffering by local radio personality Gene Valicenti , 630WPRO ) that  their SNAP benefits will immediately ( November 1 ) be cut nearly in half  ? The  ridiculous  excuse being that their  rental payments already include  HEAT & ELECTRICITY .  That is exactly why we qualify for and get into public housing !  Seven years ago my rent  included HEAT & ELECTRICITY . Same with  my neighbors at Randall Manor .

                  To go from nearly  $ 190 in SNAP benefits to $109 is an unfair and unjust economic shock . WHO authorized this sneak attack on poor people and the elderly in Rhode Island ? Governor Gina Raimondo up for re-election in a few weeks ? Shame on " Wall St. Gina " -  LIBERAL Democrat ?
