Veto by Nevada Governor of School Feeding Bill

09/01/2024

Governor Joe Lombardo issued a veto following bicameral passage of legislation to provide universal free school meals to all students in Nevada.  Lombardo believes that the USDA Community Eligible Program will provide adequate food for children in high poverty areas.  Basically, Lombardo should be ashamed that 80 percent of students in his state are automatically eligible for free or reduced-price meals.  As one of the states that deprecates federal involvement and touts independence from Federal involvement, he is apparently accepting the principle that U.S. taxpayer funds should help feed children in his state.
