Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are on track to pass the big tax and spending bill by their deadline of July 4. The bill extends tax breaks from President Donald Trump’s first term and eliminates taxes on tips. It also cuts federal funding for Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.
In Minnesota and 10 other states, county governments manage these programs. St. Louis County estimates that the cost shift to St. Louis County will be more than $10 million for SNAP and $6.4 million for Medicaid.
St. Louis County Board of Commissioners Chair Annie Harala joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about the impact.
