The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead reports that the Republican-dominated North Dakota Senate voted to ratify the boost to meal reimbursements for lawmakers and state workers just 10 days after the same institution narrowly blocked a bill that would have expanded the state's free lunch program.
According to the Forum, the legislation had previously passed through North Dakota's House of Representatives and would have "dedicated $6 million over the next two school years to cover lunch costs for K-12 students with family incomes below double the federal poverty level," meaning that "children from families of four making less than $60,000 a year would have qualified."

“It’s really the problem of parents being negligent with their kids, if their kids are choosing to eat in the first place.”...

An example of the mainstream media trying to beat up Conservatives nationally for an isolated local issue. Identity politics at its worst. MHO
