Brandon Gill Filed a Bill to Stop People From Buying a Hot Meal With Food Stamps. The 'Loophole' He Wants Closed Exists for People Who Are Elderly, Disabled or Homeless.
Gill's Ending Restaurant Purchases with SNAP Act targets the $524 million Sen. Joni Ernst's office says ran through the program over two years in nine states. The program he calls a fast-food loophole is a federal option for SNAP recipients who cannot cook or store food. He voted for the $187 billion cut first.
