To the Editor:
First came ICE, now comes the food police. And yet again, Gov. Phil Scott has proven his willingness to disregard the most vulnerable Vermonters.
This time he chose to send the Trump administration sensitive personal data of Vermonters on SNAP food assistance. This includes the names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and even the addresses of 65,000 Vermonters who are, or have been, enrolled in the SNAP program over the last five years.
