Here is a column that the Traverse City Record-Eagle just published on its agriculture page about the status of 10 Cents a Meal in the state budget and impacts the stall in funding is having.
Here also is a blog written about the recent revenue estimating report by the Michigan League for Public Policy, which at the end includes the League's hopes that there still will be another supplemental that includes 10 Cents.
And, finally, I am getting media inquiries wondering about the impact of the delay in 10 Cents funding this year, hopes for a supplemental, and hopes for continued expansion. If you are someone who would like to be quoted, or if you would like assistance in media for your own home-town media — like writing a column or cultivating a story — please don't hesitate to contact me at diane@groundworkcenter.org.
Thanks!
Diane
