Martinez to Extend Food Stamp Supplement

Susana Martinez

From necn.com -Republican Gov. Susana Martinez announced Monday she will extend a state program through September to supplement federal food stamp benefits for about 4,000 low-income elderly and disabled New Mexicans. Martinez will use federal economic stimulus money to prevent a reduction of food stamp benefits starting in July when the program otherwise would have ended. The Legislature did not approve any money for the program in the upcoming fiscal year, which starts next month, although the Martinez administration had requested $650,000.  More News New Mexico
