Title: Free Breakfast Program
Topic: Tax Dollars at Work
Discussed by Eric Opiela
with Eric Opiela
Part 1 of 2
Most Texans are unaware that the largest portion of the Texas Department of Agriculture’s funding consists of approximately $1.9 billion in federal pass-through funds for the national school lunch program. An additional $60 million in pass-through funds are spent for summer feeding programs and $292 million for child and adult day care feeding programs.
Some of this is money well-spent; some is wasteful. Eric Opiela, candidate for Texas Agriculture Commissioner, sheds some light on this sensitive issue.
