Dear Chairman Bulova and Vice Chair Bloxom: I appreciate the important work of the Emergency Committee. I write to provide you the attached letter, which outlines the unprecedented effects of federal policies and funding decisions on the City of Alexandria and the Commonwealth. I look forward to working with you as we prepare the Commonwealth for impending responsibilities to replace funding for essential grants and increasing costs and processes related to administering lifesaving Medicaid and SNAP benefits. Sincerely, Alyia Gaskins, Mayor Alexandria City Council

I recieve Snap assistance due to not making enough money. They cut my $292.00 to just $23.00. Im lucky I recieve that. Snap is big help for us working people who make less. Sadly, We get cut short because of this stupid bill.
