Thousands could lose food stamps under tighter SNAP rules

By Billy Kobin, Louisville Courier Journal

About 40,000 Kentuckians could lose their federal food stamp benefits under a plan by President Donald Trump's administration to tighten SNAP eligibility requirements. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced July 23 a plan to no longer provide Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to families solely because they are enrolled in state-run food assistance programs.

In June 2019, according to the article, 2,836 individuals in Adair County received an average of about $100 in SNAP benefits, and several hundred of those individuals could be affected by the proposed changes.

Applications sought for illegal dump and litter abatement grants

By John Mura/Robin Hartman

Frankfort, KY - The Energy and Environment Cabinet's (EEC) Division of Waste Management (DWM) is calling for grant applications for two of its signature programs, illegal dump cleanup and the cleanup of litter along public roads.

The Illegal Open Dump Grant has funded the cleanup of 2,171 dump sites since 2006, and the Litter Abatement Grant. Since 2003, state and local governments have cleaned more than 2.8 million miles of roadways with help from these grants.

"These two grant programs have proven to be very popular, providing resources for cities and counties across the state to clean up unsightly roadside litter and illegal open dumps," said EEC Secretary Charles Snavely. "Both have been invaluable in maintaining the natural beauty of Kentucky's landscape."
