Written by Prendergast For Congress
|
|
Tampa, FL – The Senate-approved teacher and Medicaid bill prompted Rep. Nancy Pelosi to call Congress back for a special session to pass the legislation to the President. Mike Prendergast, front runner for the Republican nomination in Florida’s Congressional District 11, disapproved of the bill not because of where the money is going but rather because of where the funding is coming from. If the bill passes, food stamp recipient benefits appropriated to the program by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act will be slashed by nearly $12 billion.
