Senators Murphy and Blumenthal voted against the Farm Bill, in part because of the SNAP cuts related to the bill's "heat or eat" provisions, which will disporporionately affect Connecticut and other northern states.
They are still on the case, having sent a letter today to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius urging that funding be restored to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, in order to help offset the cuts in the SNAP program.
