And then there were five. Montana has become the fifth state to avert cuts to food stamps:

On Wednesday, Governor Bullock increased payments from the state's energy assistance program to eligible snap participants so they could meet the increased amount. The move costs the state about $24,000 more per year.

That $24,000 per year will preserve $2 million in nutrition assistance for Montana families. Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, and Oregon had already done so.
