“What Gordon saw last week can be attributed, at least in part, to Lake Forests membership in a federally funded program that provides free breakfast and lunch to all students at 24 local schools, regardless of ability to pay”
Which equates to more people who no longer have to provide for their children.
I always get a sick chuckle out of “government funded”. Sheriff of Notingham comes to mind. ‘T weren’t the sheriff’s money.
