For months, Congressional Republicans have dodged questions over exactly how they plan to fund another round of Trump-era tax cuts for corporations and the rich. While big-budget programs like Medicaid and SNAP have been eyed for cuts, legislators have said only that they’ll concentrate on rooting out fraud and trimming waste from those mainstays.

New York Focus revealed last week that the American Chemistry Council, which represents major corporations like DuPont, Exxon, and 3M, poured $250,000 into the reelection campaigns of lawmakers across the state, from Long Island to Syracuse.
