| [NEWS] Republican bill will reduce free school lunch |
| << < (17/46) > >> |

Lowering the number of students receiving free lunch presumably won't affect those that need it most. In my town at least, almost nobody gets a free lunch and the food is pretty decent for $3. The city next to my town has lots of students eating free lunch, but it's because the city is literally a mini Detroit (corrupt, poor, and high municipal tax is pushing all the industry out). Then again, the mayor got convicted of taking bribes a while back iirc and they just re-elected him, so they made their bed and will have to lay in it now. |

I'm hoping they're just reducing free lunch to the students that need it. i went to a high school and practically a quarter of the students were on free lunch and most of them were more than able to afford it. |

There's only 2 areas with rich ppl (greenfield hill and southport) Yea there aren't many people living below the poverty line but it isn't Greenwich where the average person is ridiculously rich. Fairfield just had outliers like all the AIG folks that got in a bit of trouble for using the 2008 bailout money they got to pay themselves bonuses of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most ppl here are middle class. The "other city" is Bridgeport if you couldn't tell, but that situation is a whole different variety of forgeted there. The point I'm trying to make is that the areas that need the free lunches seem to have bigger problems to be addressed as well. --- Quote from: Trogtor on February 24, 2017, 10:30:49 AM ---I'm hoping they're just reducing free lunch to the students that need it. i went to a high school and practically a quarter of the students were on free lunch and most of them were more than able to afford it. --- End quote --- ^^^ there were a few kids on free lunch in my town and I def know they could afford it. They'd buy a Starbucks Coffee every morning but can't pay $3 for a lunch? Bullstuff |
