WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- The food assistance program known as SNAP could run out of funding Nov. 1.
In Wisconsin, those food cuts could spell trouble. When the funds run out, more than 700,000 Wisconsinites will be at risk of food insecurity. Additionally, those cuts to the Affordable Care Act would raise premiums by as much as 75% across the state.
Governor Evers was in Racine Wednesday and shared his thoughts on the government shutdown.
"It is mostly about the fact that the Legislature is not in session in Washington D.C., and as a result of that, they are not getting things done for the people of Wisconsin, and the country, frankly," Evers said.
As Democrats continue to push for a bipartisan deal at Capitol Hill, Gov. Evers says he remains hopeful that a funding agreement with the Trump administration can still be reached.
