Nebraska governor changes mind; to participate in summer EBT
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen said Monday that the state will seek federal summer grocery aid for 150,000 low-income children, reversing his administration's controversial decision to pass up on the funds.
A sliver of good news and a reminder that talking to your elected officials CAN make a difference, even if they're generally horrible people. Mr. Pillen realized that hungry kids were actual people after talking to some and decided, "Nebraska needs to do better." No shit Governor, but thank you for not digging your heals in this time and being willing to take free money from the feds to feed hingey children.
