- ➤ U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez of McAllen criticized a bill he voted against at a South Texas Alliance of Mayors event, saying the measure will cut $500 billion in Medicare and $300 billion in SNAP while benefiting the ultra wealthy — a change he warned would hurt healthcare, businesses, and services in the Rio Grande Valley — and urged local voters to engage with Congress. The Congressman stressed that these cuts and tax breaks could damage the region and harm essential support for many families. Rio Grande Guardian
