"But Texas, which has 3.8 million program-eligible children, has opted not to join this national effort. If it had, qualifying families would have received $120 per child through a pre-loaded card for the three summer months. The USDA calculated that #Texas is passing on a total of $450 million in federal tax dollars that would have gone to eligible families here."
#abbott has a excuse though- his administration is too cheap/incompetent to figure out how to implement it.
