Bowser aprueba el aumento en fondos de SNAP para residentes de DC

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:50:56 GMT

La alcaldesa Muriel Bowser otorgará fondos adicionales a los beneficios del Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria (SNAP, en inglés), evitando un enfrentamiento con el Concejo de DC y una posible demanda.Aproximadamente 140,000 personas en el Distrito reciben beneficios de SNAP, a menudo llamados cupones para alimentos. En marzo pasado, hubo una disminución de fondos después de que se agotaron los fondos federales de ayuda para la pandemia.Para llenar ese vacío, el Concejo del DC aprobó una legislación que requiere que la alcaldesa use alrededor de $38 millones para aumentar esos beneficios durante nueve meses si el Distrito tuviera un superávit presupuestario. El Distrito terminó el último año fiscal con superávit, pero Bowser no había aceptado hacerlo hasta el miércoles por la noche.La directora Laura Zeilinger del Departamento de Servicios Humanos del DC (DHS, en inglés) confirmó el aumento temporal y dijo en parte: “Aunque todavía existen presiones fiscales y adm...

Polish farmers resume blockade of border crossing with Ukraine

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:50:56 GMT

WARSAW — Polish farmers restarted a blockade of a Poland-Ukraine border crossing on Thursday, accusing the new Polish government of failing to guarantee it will meet their demands for financial help.The farmers rejoined truckers at the Medyka-Shehyni crossing — hauliers are also blocking other crossings complaining about competition from Ukrainian rivals — turning the border issue into a political minefield for the new government in Warsaw.Prime Minister Donald Tusk needs to defuse the protests while not angering the transport and farming lobbies, all while ensuring that Kyiv gets material and political support to resist Russia’s war of aggression.Tusk said on Wednesday that he wants to investigate why the protesting farmers are back at the border and why they had so little trust in a deal struck with his government last month to end the blockade.He also worried about the signal being sent by the protests.“I will convince Polish hauliers not to use blockade as a method o...
