On November 1, more than 1.1 million low-income people in Washington experienced a reduction in their food assistance benefits, when a temporary boost to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, (formerly known as food stamps) expired. In this state, SNAP is known as the Basic Food Program.

Watching events unfold in D.C. in recent weeks with so much partisan rancor, conjured up memories of working in D.C. My boss, U.S. Senator George McGovern (D-SD), regularly worked across the aisle with Republican Senators - Bob Dole, Chuck Percy, Jacob Javits, and others. And he was not alone; there was a different approach to governing.
