SNAP Cuts Hit North Country Counties | Burlington News

SNAP funding cuts are hitting Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties hard—federal support slashed from 50% to 25% of admin costs, forcing counties to foot over $2.1 million annually. Add in potential penalties for high error rates, which could add another $10.1 million yearly, and by 2028, these three counties face a staggering $12 million annual tax burden. That money won’t go to roads, sewers, or public safety—forcing local leaders to beg for delays and state help as federal policy strains their budgets.
