Corby Kummer starts from the ground up covering the latest developments in the investigation of cyclospora in this episode of Boston Public Radio. He points to the heroic efforts of a bare bones USDA analysts who remain after cuts started with the Biden administration and accelerated under the current one. He moves on to the new work-requirement rules that raised the bar for who qualifies for SNAP, resulting in states covering up to 75% of admin costs they never paid before. Corby says the impact is already visible: Arizona’s SNAP rolls have been cut in half in a year; Massachusetts has lost tens of thousands of households, including nearly 50,000 children.
