Portland officials spoke out against proposed state budget cuts Wednesday, saying the changes could push more people into the city's emergency shelters, leave thousands unable to afford medicine and force a health clinic for the homeless to close its doors. City officials said they are especially concerned about proposals to restrict access to MaineCare health insurance and to no longer provide aid through General Assistance, a program paid for by the state and communities, to people who qualify for federal cash assistance.

A spending bill to fund the nation's food and farm programs would cut the Women, Infants and Children program, which offers food aid and educational support for low-income mothers and their children, by $868 million, or 13 percent.

The legislation passed 217-203. The bill would trim the Food and Drug Administration's $2.5 billion budget by almost 12 percent, straining the agency's ability to implement a new food safety law signed by President Barack...

The emergency food stamp assistance handed out after Hurricane Irene was tailor-made for fraud. The federal program administered through the state is intended to rush through aid and then rely on the state to audit for fraud later. Under the Disaster Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, called D-SNAP, 74,230 Connecticut residents got extra aid ranging from $200 to $1,202, depending on family size, for food lost as a result of the hurricane. Among those receiving the aid were 800 employees of the state, including workers in the Department of Social Services, which administered the D-SNAP program.
