DeleteI am glad they are not making universal free lunches as that would not be equitable as the rich NEED to pay their fare share. thank you Reb Avi for this progressive legislation.
ReplyDeleteThank you to assemblyman Avi Schnall for doing nothing but sitting at the table as our taxes go up and tuition was raised again. That's what politicians do put out fake PR articles of nothing as the fake frum media peddles the nonsense and deception
ReplyDeletethe article says he has raised the poverty fork to qualify for free lunches.

ReplyDeleteA.Ahh, though when they put AS in,boy, they promised us all that, ironically telling everybody how it was the previous incumbents who failed to deliver -what was mostly impossible. Somehow the public are the bad for wanting to hold them to it .
B. The record shows when they ( the crooked dominant party) want our vote- especially in such a swing vote election -they will give us the just about everything & the kitchen sink.As long as,that is, we have even a barely half- professional official with some plan up there holding the cards.
