Gov. Kemp Provides Update on Impacts of Democrat-led Federal Shutdown

ATLANTA – Governor Brian P. Kemp today provided an update on the impacts to Georgia from the ongoing federal government shutdown caused by Democrat senators' unwillingness to vote for a clean Continuing Resolution -- the same bill they previously voted for on 13 separate occasions. As a consequence of their inaction, and according to the latest guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Department is unable to issue Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November. The SNAP program is federally funded and requires budgetary action from the U.S. Congress to load money onto beneficiary cards. There is no mechanism by which the state can replace benefits on customer cards. Additionally, the Office of Management and Budget has informed all states across the country that it cannot reimburse any state funds expended on federal programs. The one and only viable and long-term solution to funding SNAP and any other federal program is for Democrat senators to do their jobs and vote to reopen the federal government.
“In the latest example of D.C. Democrats putting bad politics over the people they claim to care about, Senators Ossoff and Warnock and others in their party are denying hundreds of thousands of Georgians the SNAP benefits they need to feed their families,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “Their repeated failure to reopen the federal government will be felt at kitchen tables all around the state, right as we approach the holidays. While they waste time playing the blame game, my office is in contact with food banks, nonprofit organizations, and community partners across the state to hear feedback on how the shutdown is affecting them and to assess current demand. But the only way to quickly and effectively resolve this issue is for Democrats to vote to reopen the federal government immediately."
Current SNAP recipients may continue to use any remaining benefits on their EBT cards following November 1, but will not receive new benefit payments until the federal government shutdown ends. Unspent SNAP funds remain accessible for nine months from the date of last use.
The Georgia Department of Human Services has been communicating with retailers, food banks, and other organizations for over a week on the impacts of the shutdown to prepare them for this sudden and disruptive impact caused by the callous intransigence of D.C. Democrats (see here). Georgians impacted by the discontinuation of SNAP benefits should review the food bank and food pantry resources below, as well as search for local church and non-profit organizations that are stepping up to help in this difficult time as Democrats continue to abandon their job responsibilities and constituents.
Georgians can reach their two U.S. Senators' offices through the numbers below to urge them to open the federal government immediately and restore funding for SNAP so families will not go hungry this fall:

Jon Ossoff - (202) 224-3521
Raphael Warnock - (202) 224-3643

Ted Turner called them “America’s Team,” but for most of their time in Atlanta they were lovable losers.

The Braves played their first Atlanta season in 1966. In 25 years, they made the playoffs twice.

There were a few highlights, some great players, like Hank Aaron, Dale Murphy, and Phil Niekro, but the Braves lost more games than any other Major League franchise between 1966 and 1990.

That all changed in 1991. General manager John Schuerholz and manager Bobby Cox joined the team and the Braves began one of the most remarkable runs in American sports history.

Behind the pitching trio of Tom Glavine, John Smoltz and Greg Maddux, and hitters David Justice and Chipper Jones, the Braves won 14 consecutive division titles and five National League pennants.

Then in 1995 -- their 30th season in Atlanta -- announcer Skip Carey couldn’t stop saying,” Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!”

The Braves beat the Cleveland Indians and won the World Series.

It was the first time any Georgia sports franchise took a major world championship. The team went worst to first on October 28, 1995, Today in Georgia History.
