The Eau Claire City Council is considering a resolution that would ask Congress not to make cuts to several federal programs.
Councilmen Roderick Jones and Andrew Werthmann introduced the resolution, which would ask that Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, and Social Security programs don’t face budget cuts. That’s in response to a U.S. House plan that would cut 880-billion. A public input session will be hosted tonight, and the Council will vote on the resolution tomorrow.
