To the Editor:
Some may support Rep. Stefanik because they’re happy she’s trying to block Democrats from accomplishing things, but I’m holding her accountable every time she claims to be supporting and protecting the people of NNY.
Let’s start with a reminder that she voted down the recent Covid relief package; along with the checks for struggling individuals and the $12.7B specifically ear-marked for NYS.
In her 3/17/21 article, she touted her support for NNY agriculture because she backed the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program. But it’s not clear how that helps upstate farms, since half of the $23.6B went to only 5% of agribusiness in the most heavily-concentrated agricultural US states. Nor is it clear how her support for the Farmers to Families Food Box Program helped our farmers; since the vendor companies chosen to profit came from 36 other states; not NY.

Hancock County food box distributions planned for April 20
ELLSWORTH The Farmers to Families Food Box Program, a component of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s COVID-19 emergency food assistance program, will hold food box distribution events in Hancock County on Tuesday, April 20, at the Acadia Gateway Center on Route 3 in Trenton and at the Bucksport United Methodist Church (3 River Road). Community members may pick up free food boxes on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 10 a.m. in Trenton and 2 p.m. in Bucksport, until all boxes have been distributed. No paperwork or registration is required.
Each box contains 1 gallon of milk, meat, shredded cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, potatoes and other produce. Those who are able may pick up food boxes for homebound neighbors and family members; per-vehicle box limits will be set according to the number of boxes available at distribution.
