Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 4th of November.
Good morning, Ankeny.
🏛️ Government
Congressman Randy Feenstra visited the Food Bank of Iowa in Des Moines on Monday and discussed the impact of the government shutdown on SNAP funding, which provides $45 million a year to 270,000 Iowans with an average monthly benefit of about $190.
He said reopening the federal government is needed and that partial payments may offer relief, though exact benefit amounts and timing remain uncertain — state and federal agencies are still coordinating efforts.
