The Ranking Member of the House Agriculture Committee is signaling a stalemate that will likely stunt progress on the 2018 Farm Bill.
Congressman Collin Peterson of Minnesota issued a statement Tuesday, saying he and the other Democratic members of the Committee are unanimous in their opposition to policies being advocated by the Majority on the nutrition title.
Calling changes proposed by Republicans to the SNAP program extreme and partisan, Peterson says the objection by Democrats will not change.
