From the transcript
Member Blakeslee. Yeah, just to follow up on Member McDonough's sort of request for additional context, I do see we have a representative. Representative Hyshide is here in the room. And so given we were discussing earlier a House bill that didn't make it past, it didn't, it didn't succeed, but bears significant merit on some of the financial discussions we're having. I was wondering if maybe we could provide just some of that context about what we're seeing around the forecasted deficit around student nutrition and the ability to feed kids and what that looks like, sort of the trade-offs that we're going to have to contend with in FY28.
