Am I reading this correctly? They actually *reduced* some of the fees???? (I think SNAP recipients paid $100 last year). I was expecting really bad news from the title of your post, expecting fees to go up $100 or more, but they actually dropped them back down.

Thanks Hillbilly, for the good news!

hahahaha I can't believe it! I overpaid for my OMMP - I sent in $50 for the grower's fee before I realized I didn't need to... and actually got a check back from the state!
