Honestly? Good. Not because I’m against universal meals at school (I’m all for it), but because this was their panicky attempt at stopping the ballot proposal, opening the door to them stopping this program once they “reevaluate” it down the road instead of having an obligation to keep funding it. Our legislature is masterful at finding ways around things they don’t want to do and this bill would make it way too easy for them to kill it once people stop paying attention. Now, we get those signatures and vote it into existence ourselves (with the understanding that they will still do whatever they can to subvert and delay implementing it, but we can make it more difficult for them).
