Congressman Ben Cline hosts town hall discussion in Harrisonburg | Mair Famet

HARRISONBURG,Va.- Rep. Ben Cline stopped by the Harrisonburg IHOP restaurant Monday night to address residents’ questions and concerns about the upcoming Trump administration. A room of over 30 individuals had a chance to have their questions answered by the congressman while eating dinner.

 During the discussion, Cline mentioned his support for the Trump administration’s efforts to eliminate positions within specific federal departments to “streamline bureaucracy” and allow more power to the states. He also supports a new Farm Bill. 

“Farmers need a safety net, so the Farm Bill is very important. Renewing that Farm Bill every five years is critical. We are unfortunately postponing the Farm Bill until next year,” Cline said. “This new administration is going to share my views on the importance of agriculture and making sure we get it done soon, so hopefully, spring is a good time to get that done.”

Cline also mentioned his support for enacting new legislation, which he said would allow the law to be more “consistent” and fair.
