WASHINGTON- <\/b>Today, Oregon’s Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden joined a group of 29 Senators expressing strong concerns to President Trump that his proposed policies, if enacted, would inflict substantial damage on rural America.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

La semana pasada, el presidente Trump emiti\u00f3 una propuesta de presupuesto que ped\u00eda recortes dr\u00e1sticos que socavar\u00edan la importante misi\u00f3n de desarrollo rural del Departamento de Agricultura de EE. UU. (USDA). Estos recortes perjudiciales vienen inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de los planes anunciados recientemente para eliminar al Subsecretario de Desarrollo Rural del USDA, un importante defensor de los pueblos peque\u00f1os y las comunidades rurales de todo el pa\u00eds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tanto Wyden como Merkley, quien se desempe\u00f1a como el principal dem\u00f3crata en el Subcomit\u00e9 de Asignaciones de Desarrollo Rural y Agr\u00edcola, han sido firmes defensores de las zonas rurales de Oreg\u00f3n durante su tiempo en el cargo. Ambos senadores celebran una asamblea p\u00fablica en cada uno de los condados de Oreg\u00f3n todos los a\u00f1os y escuchan de primera mano sobre la importancia de muchos de los programas que se ver\u00edan afectados por estos recortes.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the letter, the Senators objected to the proposed cuts, and urged President Trump to maintain the Undersecretary for Rural Development.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“Small towns and rural communities embody many of our nation’s greatest strengths, and the people of these communities deserve every opportunity to raise their families with well-paying jobs and a high quality of life,” wrote the Senators. “Our small towns and rural communities, however, experience unique challenges in developing and maintaining infrastructure and providing high-quality health services and education. Understanding and responding to these unique challenges to help these communities create jobs and drive economic growth is the principal mission of USDA Rural Development.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Adem\u00e1s de Merkley y Wyden, la carta fue firmada por los senadores Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Heidi Heitkamp (DN.D.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Kirsten Gillibrand (DN.Y.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev. .), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Tammy Baldwin ( D-Wisconsin), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Tom Carper (D-Del.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Joe Manchin (DW. Va.) , Chris Coons (D-Del.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Angus King (I-Maine), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) y Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.).<\/span><\/p>\n

30 de mayo de 2017<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

presidente de los Estados Unidos                                                                                                 <\/span><\/p>\n

Washington, DC 20006               <\/span><\/p>\n

Cc:          The Honorable Mick Mulvaney, Director of the Office of Management and Budget<\/span><\/p>\n

                El Honorable Sonny Perdue, Secretario de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos<\/span><\/p>\n

                                               <\/span>                                                <\/span><\/p>\n

Estimado presidente Trump,<\/span><\/p>\n

We write today to raise concerns about your budget request to cut Farm Bill programs by $231 billion and to dramatically reduce or eliminate rural development programs within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). These proposed cuts, combined with USDA’s reorganization plan, which would abolish the Under Secretary of Rural Development at USDA, would have significant negative impacts on rural America.<\/span><\/p>\n

Los pueblos peque\u00f1os y las comunidades rurales representan muchas de las mayores fortalezas de nuestra naci\u00f3n, y las personas de estas comunidades merecen todas las oportunidades para criar a sus familias con trabajos bien remunerados y una alta calidad de vida. Sin embargo, nuestros peque\u00f1os pueblos y comunidades rurales experimentan desaf\u00edos \u00fanicos en el desarrollo y mantenimiento de la infraestructura y la prestaci\u00f3n de servicios de salud y educaci\u00f3n de alta calidad. Comprender y responder a estos desaf\u00edos \u00fanicos para ayudar a estas comunidades a crear empleos e impulsar el crecimiento econ\u00f3mico es la misi\u00f3n principal de Desarrollo Rural del USDA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Desafortunadamente, el presupuesto del a\u00f1o fiscal 2018 propone recortes dr\u00e1sticos al Desarrollo Rural del USDA que socavan su capacidad de servir a las zonas rurales de Estados Unidos. Aunque estamos profundamente preocupados por muchos otros aspectos del presupuesto del USDA, el enfoque de esta carta se limita a la misi\u00f3n de desarrollo rural del USDA. Estas reducciones socavar\u00edan la capacidad de las comunidades locales para apoyar la propiedad de viviendas rurales; proporcionar sistemas limpios de agua potable y aguas residuales; y promover el acceso a servicios cr\u00edticos como hospitales rurales, polic\u00eda y bomberos. Si se promulgan, estos recortes tendr\u00edan un impacto perjudicial en las comunidades rurales de todo el pa\u00eds. <\/span><\/p>\n

Por ejemplo, reducir a cero los fondos del USDA para proyectos de infraestructura de agua y aguas residuales deja a las peque\u00f1as comunidades sin acceso a los fondos federales necesarios para abordar el retraso de $2.500 millones para sistemas de agua potable limpios y confiables, eliminaci\u00f3n de desechos de aguas residuales sanitarias y asistencia de agua de emergencia. La eliminaci\u00f3n de los programas para peque\u00f1as empresas del USDA deja a las empresas con menos acceso a capital, oportunidades educativas, capacitaci\u00f3n empresarial y soporte t\u00e9cnico. Se ha acreditado que estos programas han salvado casi 800,000 empleos y han ayudado a financiar m\u00e1s de 107,000 negocios desde 2009. Y finalmente, la propuesta de presupuesto pone en peligro las subvenciones cr\u00edticas para servicios de salud de banda ancha rural que brindan a las comunidades herramientas adicionales para ayudar a brindar acceso a la educaci\u00f3n y la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica rural. , incluida la lucha contra la epidemia de opioides. En pocas palabras, los recortes a estos programas obstaculizan la capacidad de las zonas rurales de Estados Unidos para ver el crecimiento econ\u00f3mico y el desarrollo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Estos recortes, junto con la reorganizaci\u00f3n del USDA anunciada recientemente, aumentan nuestra preocupaci\u00f3n de que las decisiones tomadas por esta Administraci\u00f3n perjudiquen a los pueblos peque\u00f1os y las zonas rurales de Estados Unidos. Si bien aplaudimos el establecimiento de un Subsecretario de Comercio como lo exige la Ley Agr\u00edcola de 2014, nos preocupa la eliminaci\u00f3n planificada del Subsecretario de Desarrollo Rural. Los funcionarios del USDA han dejado en claro que no existe ning\u00fan requisito legal para eliminar ninguno de los puestos de Subsecretario en el USDA para crear un Subsecretario de Comercio. Tanto el comercio agr\u00edcola como las funciones de desarrollo rural en el USDA merecen y requieren un liderazgo de alto nivel, responsable y singularmente enfocado para garantizar el \u00e9xito de sus misiones. No creemos que el aumento de las exportaciones agr\u00edcolas tenga que venir acompa\u00f1ado de una degradaci\u00f3n de las actividades de desarrollo rural. <\/span><\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s, nos decepciona que el USDA planee implementar la reorganizaci\u00f3n incluso antes de que venzan los comentarios p\u00fablicos, lo que sugiere que el USDA no tiene un plan real para considerar estos comentarios y realizar cambios basados en los comentarios. USDA debe considerar cuidadosamente todos los comentarios recibidos antes de que se implemente realmente la reorganizaci\u00f3n propuesta. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Continuaremos luchando por la Am\u00e9rica rural al rechazar estos recortes presupuestarios, y le pedimos que reconsidere el plan del USDA y mantenga el Subsecretario de Desarrollo Rural. Creemos que si podemos trabajar juntos, podemos encontrar una mejor manera de responder a las necesidades \u00fanicas de los pueblos peque\u00f1os y las comunidades rurales de Estados Unidos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Esperamos trabajar con usted y su Administraci\u00f3n en estos temas cr\u00edticos.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
