Summary
Gov. Kathy Hochul has proposed offering free breakfast and lunch to all 2.7 million New York students regardless of income.
The plan, if approved, would expand eligibility to 300,000 more children by removing income-based requirements.
Hochul emphasized the need to eliminate the stigma associated with subsidized meals.
At least eight states already have universal meal programs, and New York City schools already currently offer free meals.
State legislative leaders have expressed support.
Later than it should have been especially when it’s already done in NYC, but still a major win. Perfection can’t be the enemy of progress.
this is not progress; it’s a treat meant to distract you.
Tell that to the people who will benefit from it.
yes, it the bread that keeps the plebs in line after their governor has shown her true colors with the ceo hotline; bread and circuses.
