Are they cutting their Parent’s EBT benefits to pay for it?

Then they’ll beg the rest of the country for money after they’ve already shot their wad.

Make the big PR buildup now so that when Trump kills the program you can go on TV and cry about how “he’s taking food out of the mouths of children”.

At some point, the all free lunches are cheaper than having paid lunches. The infrastructure to collect the cash from the few paying students costs more than the income from those students. So make it all free, a handful that would have paid get a break, and so do the taxpayers under the current system.

Quickest numbers I could grab showed that 87% of the students in the district were getting free lunches in 2012, with several schools over 95% and one at 100%. (One elementary school was at 54%). I doubt things have improved there in the last 5 years. http://www.ride.ri.gov/Portals/0/Uploads/Documents/ERATE/Binder-2012-NSLP-EligibilityReportwithERATEDiscount.pdf

My husband and I have talked about retiring to a beach house in Rhode Island, but perhaps that was a mistake. There is much to recommend about the state, but politics isn’t among the list.

Not for free, nothing is free - someone else is lying for it.
