School Lunch Bill Is Mixed Victory
Washington AP reports mixed reactions as a congressional resolution preserves the current school lunch program from cuts this year. Supporters say it blocks major administration cuts while critics warn future legislation may tighten eligibility and funding terms. The measure, passed unanimously in October, keeps funding at Oct 1 levels amid efforts by Lyng and McGovern to draft a broader, more restrictive law for the next year.
