States rejecting federal money for hungry kids

15 states are not participating in a federally funded meal program for kids during the summer, the Summer Electronic Benefit Program. The program helps feed 22 million kids. Some states are rejecting the program because states cannot hire administrators for the program, and other states are rejecting the federal funds for political reasons. Nebraska’s Governor rejected the program which he described as, ” just another form of welfare.”
