In a recent article about SNAP (Supplemental Assistance Benefits Program) being caught up in the most recent government shutdown [“SNAP Funding Turmoil Hits East End Food Pantries Ahead of Winter Season,” 27east.com, October 30], and the consequences to East End food pantries, Congressman Nick LaLota was quoted to the effect that he would insist that Democrats pass the latest continuing resolution to fund the government to restore SNAP benefits.

Position Unchanged

David M. Brodsky’s partisan letter [“Owed Full Truth,” Letters, November 27] is built on incorrect assumptions and ignores key facts about both the Jeffrey Epstein case and my record. First, as a father of three daughters, I voted yes to release the Epstein files because the full network must be exposed, and every victim deserves justice. A discharge petition is one procedural option, but it is not what releases files; only a vote of the House does that. When a bill came to the floor that would force disclosure, I supported it without hesitation. My position did not “change” based ... by Staff Writer
