Letters to the Editor

Rural hospitals face funding cuts and farmers lose support programs like REAP and Medicaid during the shutdown, impacting small-town communities across rural America.

  • Recently, the federal government ground to a halt, and rural America feels it first and worst as small towns face immediate strain amid Washington's political split.
  • A stalled continuing resolution has left funding unresolved, as neither side has sufficient votes to pass the continuing resolution to fund the government, and the author says communities are collateral in this partisan fight.
  • Programs that support rural areas are now on hold, with Medicaid and REAP paused and benefits redirected to large corporate agricultural operations, leaving farmers and small businesses hanging.
  • Legal distinctions matter: being undocumented is only a civil violation, and a crime occurs only after deportation and reentry, the author explains.
  • The author urges civic engagement, calling on Seneca Falls residents to put down their phones and `speak truth to power` for a stronger community.
