Tusk / Montgomery Philanthropies Commends Governor Inslee and Washington State Leaders for Signing Breakfast After the Bell Legislation Into Law
NEW YORK, March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "With Governor Inslee's signing of Breakfast After the Bell legislation (HB 1508), the State of Washington has become a national leader in school hunger policy. On behalf of students across the state, we wish to thank the Governor for his support, as well as members of the State Legislature ? in particular, Senator Lisa Wellman and Representative Monica Stonier. Providing nutritious meals and eliminating hunger in our schools is a common sense issue that should transcend party politics.
