During a press briefing on Tuesday, Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R-WV) answered a question about giving data on staffing to the federal government.
Transcript
00:00Any other questions that folks have?
00:05Hey, Lori.
00:08Sure.
00:10But my only promise is this.
00:12Sometimes people ask off-subject topics,
00:14and then the next day the only thing I read about is the off-subject topic.
00:18But go ahead, Lori, please.
00:20I've been doing this, too.
00:22Okay.
00:25There was a little flex for SNAP data.
00:29Sure.
00:30Yeah.
00:33So I had read about that, and some people were talking about that.
00:42So I'm going to look further into that.
00:43But I can say conceptually we want to help what has been articulated
00:48is the Trump administration's purpose.
00:51The goal that they have is to root out fraud, waste, and abuse,
00:55and to go after undocumented aliens.
00:58And I think that they want to look at a number of the public programs,
01:01including SNAP.
01:03I'm supportive of that.
01:04And so obviously you always want to protect the privacy of citizens.
01:08But there's a real issue ensuring that we're going to have the adequate details
01:14to go after fraud, waste, and abuse,
01:17and to make sure that undocumented aliens and other people are not taking advantage
01:23of these benefits unlawfully.
01:24So my inclination is to work closely with the Trump administration on that
01:29and make sure that we're giving them the tools they need to limit bad use of taxpayer money.
01:36So that's where my inclination is, and I think that's the direction you should expect us to go in.
01:43Any other questions?
01:46Well, I hope this constitutes another big announcement.
01:50We really appreciate you coming today,
01:52and we'll be back in touch with you very soon.
01:56Thank you to everyone in West Virginia.
01:58Yeah.
