Rep. Welch calls House Farm Bill a 'stunt'

Posted on July 18, 2013 |
By By MICHELLE MONROE St. Albans Messenger



ST. ALBANS — The House of Representatives passed a stripped down Farm Bill last Thursday night without dairy programs and food stamps. Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., called it “a political stunt.”

The bill was debated under rules prohibiting legislators from offering amendments.
