Michigan lawmaker wants to make free school meals permanent
A Michigan Senate bill sponsored by Dayna Polehanki aims to make universal free school meals permanent, supported for reducing food insecurity and saving families money, though some lawmakers oppose due to funding concerns. The program, already in place in Michigan and eight other states, would no longer require annual budget approvals if passed.
