Minnesota Pol Never Met a Hungry Person? He Should Get Out More
Speaking out against a proposed school breakfast and lunch program, Republican state Sen. Steve Drazkowski said this week that he “has yet to meet a person in Minnesota that is hungry.”
Guess he doesn’t get out much.
At least a dozen food pantries are feeding record numbers in Drazkowski’s home district, officials told The Daily Beast. The Lake City Food Shelf had eight families come in during just the first half-hour on Thursday. It often sees between 20 and 30 families in a day, more than 100 in a week.
