Republican governors in 15 states reject summer food money for kids
Moving beyond efforts to block expansion of health care for the poor and disabled, Republican governors in 15 states are now rejecting a new, federally funded summer program to give food assistance to hungry children.
The program is expected to serve 21 million youngsters starting around June, providing $2.5 billion in relief across the country.

Just bypass the states entirely and send the money directly to the qualifying families. Federal programs shouldn't need a rubber stamp from backwater states anyways. These assholes are virtue signaling while kids go hungry.
It's not a bad idea, but how do you let the people who qualify know how to apply? I ask because there are billboards about low income assistance programs for residents of Texas, but said billboards are in someplace like Maryland.
I can't figure out how to find the article, but I remember them pulling this type of shit, and reading about it a few months ago.
If the government already knows they qualify they should just send them a check. Or, even better, a regular delivery of healthy food.
