Cuts In Federal Funding For Food Will Hurt Pantries And Producers

Montana Roem is worried that a proposed $1 billion cut to federal food programs that aid schools and charities will hurt her family on two fronts. As she waited in a line of cars at a Feeding South Dakota mobile food bank in Box Elder on March 27, Roem said she was well aware of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s move to eliminate two programs that paid for locally grown foods to be provided to food banks and for school meals across the U.S. 04/10/2025 10:27 AM

Poll: END OR RETAIN EXPANDED MEDICAID COVERAGE? South Dakota voters will decide in November on a proposed constitutional amendment that would end the state’s expanded Medicaid coverage if the federal government’s share of funding for the expansion falls below 90%. The expansion, approved by voters in 2022, provides Medicaid eligibility to certain adults ages 19 to 64 with incomes up to the federal limit established by the constitutional amendment. The proposed amendment would remove that expanded coverage if the federal funding level drops below 90%. If the election were held today, how would you vote?

I would Vote “Yes” to adopt the amendment (ending expanded Medicaid)

I would Vote “No” to leave the Constitution as it is
