Minnesota schools are poised to offer free lunches and breakfasts to all students under a bill passed by the state Senate on Tuesday. The Senate approved the free school meals bill on a bipartisan 38-26 vote. It now heads back to the House, where it was already passed but must be taken up again because its language was amended. Gov. Tim Walz is expected to sign the bill if it reaches his desk. "We shouldn't make children pay the price or go hungry in school for problems that are out of their control," said state Sen. Heather Gustafson, DFL-Vadnais Heights, the bill's sponsor. "Look at it like a lunchbox tax cut. It gives money back to families." Providing free lunch and breakfast to all students regardless of their family income is expected to cost upwards of $200 million annually. Minnesota lawmakers have a $17.5 billion surplus on the bottom line to fund their priorities this year.
