US EditionRep. Cliff Bentz addresses potential effects of 'big, beautiful bill' on his district
OREGON, JUL 20 – The legislation extends federal logging contracts to 20 years and cuts $1.2 trillion from Medicaid and food assistance, risking coverage loss for over 11 million Americans, experts say.
- On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill, extending federal logging contracts to a minimum of 20 years.
- Supporters hailed the bill as a pathway to economic prosperity, following approximately $1.2 trillion in budget cuts to Medicaid and SNAP programs.
- Merkley's office warned that increased logging might be harder to achieve due to federal workforce cuts, while Doug Robertson said `that volume then is no longer available to generate revenue for the counties and the state.`
- According to Governor Newsom’s office, at least 735,000 SNAP recipients in California face benefit loss, impacting vulnerable populations, per the source.
- Several provisions take effect for 2025, affecting returns filed in 2026, and work requirements take effect as of December 31, 2026.
